Question:93 Mr. N. Ahern asked the Minister for Justice the numbers of parking fines in the Dublin Metropolitan Area for the three most recent years available; the number of fines paid before a court case; the number of fines paid late and payment returned or refused by the parking fines office; the number of cases which went to court; the decisions of the courts, divided into the categories of fine only, licence suspension and endorsement; the number of cases rejected or disallowed by the court; whether statistics on the number of these cases that were subsequently appealed to a higher court are available in relation to those cases where licences were suspended or endorsed; and, if so, whether decisions can further be divided into categories of no change in decision, suspension removed or fine reduced.
