As the Deputy will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the administration and management of An Garda Síochána, including the management of the Fixed Charge Processing System (FCPS). As Minister, I have no direct role in these matters.

I am however assured that road traffic enforcement remains a core policing function of An Garda Síochána. The Garda National Roads Policing Bureau ensures a consistent approach to road safety and enforcement of road traffic legislation across the country. This is achieved through coordination of enforcement measures and development of policy, based on research and analysis of statistics and by engaging in campaigns in partnership with other State Agencies, notably the Road Safety Authority.

Road traffic legislation is also enforced as part of the day-to-day duties of all members of An Garda Síochána, in addition to the employment of specific enforcement operations.

I have been advised that there were fewer than ten Fixed Penalty Notices issued for parking on a double yellow line on Newbrook Road, Dublin 13 between 1 January 2024 to 30 January 2025, inclusive. Figures of less than ten are not reported to ensure there are no issues from a data protection perspective.

The Deputy should be aware that this information, provided by An Garda Síochána, is based upon operational data available on 31 January 2025 and, as such, is liable to change.
