Ireland South MEP has called for a greater concentration of speed vans at accident black spots and on our rural roads where speeding is dramatically impacting on road safety. 

The EU Transport Committee MEP made her calls as Gardaí released figures to her showing that €32,437,002 has been collected in fines from Garda speed vans between January 2023, and June 8th, 2025.

Ní Mhurchú questioned why revenue from speed vans across all garda districts fell by 15.9% between 2023 and 2024.

Garda figures released to Ní Mhurchu also show that gardaí paid out over €44m euro to private speed camera operators between the start of 2023 and up to August 18th , 2025, meaning that the Garda speed van system is operating at an overall loss. 

The Garda figures show that speed vans in Tipperary garda districts collected €3,322,880 in 30 months.
