I have one final point concerning fixed-charge notices, penalty points, national vehicle and driver files and separate databases for drivers. There is a proposal for a new master licensing record, a third system to incorporate the other two. Can Mr. Doyle tell me about the system in place to ensure that penalty points and charges issued through his Department attach themselves to drivers and are followed up? What specifically happens in a court situation? We are now talking about a new system whereby new cars will not be registered unless the driver's details are supplied. I am reading from page 29 of the Department's 2015 annual report. These things were announced 18 months ago. Have any of them happened?
