The total amount remitted to my Department during the year 1967 in respect of fines-on-the-spot was £67,071.
The total amount remitted during the period from 1st April, 1963, when the scheme commenced, up to the present is £283,503; and the amount remitted during the period from 1st January, 1968 up to the present is £70,107. Neither of these figures includes amounts paid into Garda stations during the present month and not yet remitted to the Department.
Has the Minister any tabulation of the areas in which these fines are imposed?
That is a separate question.
