Whether it is fixed cameras, average speed cameras or GoSafe vans, the use of technology is a vital component of reducing speeding on our roads.

Road safety cameras are intended to be, first and foremost, a tool to support safety, prevention and behavioural change across the road network.

The aim of an enhanced use of cameras across Ireland is to encourage safer driving practices, reduce collisions and protect road users by promoting compliance with speed limits.

Nine static speed safety cameras are in operation across the country since 2024. The locations of these cameras were selected based on fatal and serious injury collision data from the preceding seven years and speed data, as well as feedback from stakeholders.

The Garda authorities have provided the below table which shows a breakdown of the number of fixed charge notices issued for speed detections at the following static speed camera location.

Figures are based on incidents which occurred from 1 May 2025 to 30 June 2026, inclusive. All information contained in this report is based upon operational data from the FCPS system as was available on 6 July 2026 and is liable to change.

In respect of our national road network, Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) in collaboration with the relevant local authorities, are responsible for roads engineering and maintenance and for setting speed limits and erecting road signage.
