2012 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 7 - Management of Fixed Charge Notice System

Mr. Martin Callinan:

Of course, my apologies. Absolutely the Deputy will see improvements; there is no doubt he will. Will one ever get to the stage where one will correct all of the issues? It is a wider question. If one looks at the summonses that have not been served - 11% - that is a huge chunk of the 28% where there is no sanction. So that is an area we have to work harder on - all of us - to try to get those summonses served.

In relation to the cases that are terminated, we have already dealt with that and the Deputy has adverted to it - the 4.55%. The 2.57%, I think, is probably a realistic figure in terms of terminations because if one looks at the national figures and the national average that the Comptroller and Auditor General has mentioned and put up on the screen earlier, it is around 2.2%. We are at 2.57%, so-----
