Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 March 2006
514 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Transport further to Parliamentary Question No. 380 of 7 March 2006, if any of the 21 licence holders who have accumulated 12 penalty points have been involved in motor accidents in the past five years; if any of the 28 drivers whose disqualification period of 12 months has expired have been involved in such accidents or incurred further penalty points; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10873/06]
View answerThe information requested by the Deputy on the involvement of drivers disqualified following the accumulation of 12 penalty points in motor accidents is not available. I have asked the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government which holds and administers the national driver file to provide data on the number of drivers disqualified following the accumulation of 12 penalty points who have acquired further penalty points. When the information is available, I will forward it to the Deputy.
