Irish speed camera vans make an awful lot of money

Next time you drive past a camera speed van on an Irish road remember this.

Go Safe, the company that operates the camera van network for the Garda Siochána in the State, made approximately €50,000 profit a week in 2012.

They are no longer publishing their figures.

In a speed offence court case in Clare yesterday a spokesperson for Go Safe refused to inform the sitting judge what leeway is given to offending drivers. The judge dismissed the case.
