Garda figures show 14 fixed charge notices were issued for the offence so far this year
An Garda Síochána said the figures were based on incidents which occurred from November 12th, 2019, to December 12th, 2022, inclusive.
Mr Skelton said the number of fixed charge notices issued in 2022 in particular was “a cause for concern” and questioned whether Covid-19 and the “associated extra workload heaped upon gardaí has taken away some of the momentum and focus”. “We often get reports of gardaí being unaware of this legislation and that is clearly problematic in terms of specific enforcement of hit and miss awareness, and subsequent and predictable postcode lottery situations,” he said.Dublin Cycling Campaign said it was disappointed with the “low number of fines” and that without enforcement, legislation to protect cyclists was “pointless”.
