View answerThe gardaí are working in partnership with Fujitsu Consulting to develop and implement the fixed charge processing system, which provides for the computerisation of the Garda element of penalty points processing. It also provides for integration with the Courts Service and Department of Environment and Local Government systems.
The gardaí have indicated that the electronic system is planned to commence in Quarter 2 of 2004, initially by way of pilot, and that the full range of offences can be implemented on completion of the pilot.
