35. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide a progress report on the work of the criminal justice fixed charge processing system working group which has been established to oversee and facilitate the implementation of the recommendations of the report of the Garda Síochána inspectorate into the fixed charge processing system. [21486/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Criminal Justice Working Group was established in March on foot of a recommendation in the Garda Inspectorate Report on the Fixed Charge Processing System. The Group is jointly chaired by my Department and the Department of Justice and Equality and comprises representatives of all relevant Departments and agencies involved in the area of road traffic legislation. To date, the Group has held 5 meetings and I understand that very good progress has been made on implementation of the short-term actions set out in the report.
Part of the terms of reference for the Group is that progress reports will be made to Government on a six monthly basis. The first progress report is due in July 2014.
