The Road Traffic (No.2) Bill which is currently at second stage in the Seanad following passage through the Dáil does not contain any measures to introduce a longer period of driver disqualification for persons who accrue 12 penalty points for a second or more time. The present policy in relation to road safety has been set out in the Road Safety Strategy 2013-2020 and does not contain any proposals for such a measure. However, my Department, in consultation with the Road Safety Authority, monitors all aspects of road safety on a continuous basis and I will ask my officials to consider the Deputy's proposal in any future road traffic legislation from my Department.
