View answer543 Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of penalty points, by county, that were imposed in 2010; the way that this compares with the fatality and serious injuries rate; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28718/11]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 541 and 543 together.
Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006 (Conferral of Functions) Order 2006 (S.I. No. 477 of 2006) the Road Safety Authority has responsibility for the collection and compilation of statistics on penalty points. I have referred the Deputy's question to the Road Safety Authority for direct reply. The Deputy should inform my private office if she does not receive a reply within ten working days.
