938. Deputy Pa Daly asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of drivers stopped and reported for driving without insurance, tax, an up to date NCT and speeding on roads in County Kerry in 2018, 2019 and to date in 2020; and the number of instances in which fines were issued in tabular form.

Amharc ar fhreagraIt is important to note that the Garda Commissioner is by law responsible for the management and control of An Garda Síochána. This includes responsibility for all Garda operations, including stopping and reporting drivers for driving without insurance, tax, an up to date NCT and speeding. I, as Minister, have no role in these matters.
I am, however, informed by the Garda authorities that the table below contains details of the number of Fixed Charge Notices issued in the Kerry Division in 2018, 2019 and up until 30 June, 2020.

I am informed that these figures are as recorded on the Fixed Charge Processing System as of 10th July, 2020. They are solely based on Fixed Charge Notices issued during the time periods examined and do not contain summonses, charges or any other form of reporting. The Speeding FCNs are a combined total of both Intercept and Non-Intercept Speeding offences.
