Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 March 2006
153 Ms Burton asked the Minister for Transport the degree of contact and co-operation between his Department and the Courts Service on road traffic case law; if he is satisfied with the exchange and flow of statistics and information between the two bodies; and the steps he is taking to improve matters. [9196/06]
View answerGeneral statistics relating to decisions taken by the courts are available in the annual reports of both the Courts Service and the Garda Síochána. Notifications of driving disqualifications and endorsements of licences ordered by the courts are sent by the Courts Service to the relevant licensing authority, which records the disqualification and-or endorsement on the driver record. A copy of such notifications is also sent by the Courts Service to my Department for information.
