‘No court authority for Go Safe vans staff’

The ruling by Judge Patrick Durcan in the test case before Ennis District Court is to spark a fresh High Court challenge to the legislation around the controversial system of a privately owned firm being involved in the prosecution of speeding motorists across the country.
The contract is worth around €17m per year to the Go Safe consortium and the works involve the deployment of 50 speed camera vans operated by Go Safe employees at various locations across the country.
