Mr. Brendan Ryan:

The fixed charge processing group is examining the matter. Now that we have the other interested groups involved, I hope that legislation will be brought forward in the next year to deal with the matter. It would resolve all issues if at the point of detection everyone’s licence was available to the Garda - the prosecuting authority. If that were the case, then no issue would arise. We would not need to have this conversation. I accept that some issues arise. For example, if every car has a licence assigned to it, what does one do with company cars or rental cars?
