Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 July 2004
64 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the progress made to date with regard to computerisation of the system for the penalty points system; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20411/04]
View answerAs I previously informed the House the 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, Heritage and Local Government systems. This project is being closely managed and is kept under constant review. I have been informed by the Garda authorities that the planned live pilot of the system commenced on target at the end of June and that full implementation will follow on successful completion of the pilot.
