A Garda-run upload portal for video footage of road traffic offences is set to be delayed again.Both the Irish Independent and RTE are reporting the timeline without reporting that its a delay.IrishCycle.com previously covered how, rather than following the practice in other countries of having online reporting alongside uploading of footage, Garda will only provide the upload function to people who report the road traffic offence separately.This website reported that the then Minister for Justice, Simon Harris said in April 2023that the system would be in place in 2024 at the earliest, by December 2023, with Helen McEntee back in the Minister for Justice seat it had changed to that it is envisaged that the introduction of such an online portal will be during 2025.Today, the Irish Independent are reportingthat Paula Hilman, Assistant Garda Commissioner with responsibility for roads policing said: The issue we have is that it wont be realistically launched until about 2026 because at the back end, you need a digital evidence management system, and thats what we need to develop.RTE are reporting how Superintendent Liam Geraghty told them it would be available to the public in 18 months to 24 months.Superintendent Geraghty said: When that rolls out, people will be able to upload footage, but we will still require the people who are uploading that footage to make a statement to prove the authenticity of the footage.The portal will also be used for when Garda make public calls for dashcam or other footage.
