    We did tender for supply of the vans about 3 months ago. Haven't heard anything since so we either didn't get it - or they still haven't made a decision yet.

    3 months ago?
    It would take many months to get the infrastructure set up etc. so it indicates (yet again) really bad planning on behalf of the authorities!

    Just pretend they are there, and that you are all great drivers.

    Last I heard the closing date for tender was extended until end of September. So again the Government get the finger out and review all the tenders and award the contract, I'd say it will be late next year until we start seeing any new fixed cameras.

    God, I hope you're right. All this effort to make up big numbers. They haven't let the Traffic Corps do speed checks in ages, all checkpoints. This means they'll have a big jump in fines, all good PR.

    Fianna Fail trash, they don't care about lives, just more figures.
