Speed van. File picture
Garda speed vans collected over €3.3m from speeding motorists in 30 months in Tipperary with the county raking in the second highest fines revenue from this form of speeding detection.
That's according to figures released by Fianna Fáil MEP Cynthia Ní Mhurchú who has called for a get tough approach to those caught speeding on rural roads as Garda speed vans collected over €32 million euros nationally in 30 months.
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.
