812. Deputy Eoin Hayes asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration the number of fixed charged notices issued by the Gardaí each year since 2020; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29779/26]
View answerThe Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána under Section 33 of the Policing, Security and Community Safety Act 2024, which includes all operational policing matters. I play no role in these independent functions.
Road traffic legislation is enforced as part of the day-to-day duties of members of An Garda Síochána, as well as through a programme of high-visibility road safety and enforcement operations carried out in partnership with other state agencies, in order to make our roads safer for all.
An Garda Síochána publishes statistics on road policing enforcement, including the number of fixed charge penalty notices issued by offence, at the following link: www.garda.ie/en/roads-policing/statistics/roads%20policing%20offences%20by%20region%20and%20division/.
Data is updated quarterly and is available for the years 2019 - 2025 at present.
