192 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will report on the penalty point statistics which will be available once the computerised system is in operation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14891/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe issuing of penalty points is a matter for the Department of Transport and neither the Garda Síochána nor my Department have a role in the maintenance of statistics relating to penalty points on driver licences.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that when the fixed charge processing system is implemented it will be possible to state the number of fixed charge notices issued, the date and time of issue, and the location where the notice was issued.
