That's the view expressed by the European Transport Safety Council (ETSC) in its latest report on speed policy developments in the EU.
The Brussels organisation notes that a commitment of the Irish Government to introduce a system of automated speed enforcement by this summer is 'likely to be missed'.
The country's target for this system was to provide in the region of 6,000 hours of enforcement a month.
Last year, the Government earmarked €10 million for the system, which was to have been managed by a private operator.
