Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 16 September 2009
737 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the revenue accruing to the local or National Exchequer through the imposition of penalty points in each of the past five years to date in 2009; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31324/09]
Amharc ar fhreagraSeparate information on revenue accruing on foot of payments from fixed charge notices and court fines in connection with which penalty points were imposed in the past five years to date in 2009 is not readily available and could only be obtained by the expenditure of a disproportionate amount of staff time and resources. All moneys accruing from penalties for traffic offences are surrendered to the Exchequer as extra exchequer receipts and are accounted for in the Appropriation Accounts.
