1694. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he can provide statistics on the number of occasions where insurance companies have requested access to view the NVDF of motorists since access to the NVDF has been permitted by his Department. [33647/14]
View answerMotor insurers are granted access to the penalty point data on the National Vehicle and Driver File (NVDF) under Section 53(3) (c) of the Road Traffic Act, 2010.
My Department has been working with the insurance industry in developing the computer interface which will provide access to the data. This is now at a very advanced stage and it is expected that the transfer arrangements will commence shortly. The arrangement is subject to strict data control arrangements.
