Stolen vehicle recovery system Tracker is closer to breaking into the Irish market, with the company optimistic it will be allocated a radio channel.

The system, which recovered £2.7m worth of vehicles across the UK last month, needs a channel to operate.

It is the only system to be used by UK police and is required as standard by a number of motor insurers.

It has been negotiating with the Irish Director of Telecommunication Regulation for the past three years.

But a spokesman said the talks had been stepped up in past few months.

"We seem to be making some progress, just not as quickly as we expected," he said.

"Any Irish insurer that's interested in the system can contact the office of the director to get more details on when it will be allowed into Ireland."
