Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Road Safety Strategy: Discussion (Resumed)
11:00 am
Mr. Michael Finn:
It is a far better process. Certainly, it has been a great aid to us and even to the entire criminal justice system in terms of getting penalties imposed quicker. Let us suppose someone gets disqualified on the basis of the example described by Deputy Troy. Disqualification could be in place within six weeks as opposed to six months. It is a far better process from our perspective in terms of enforcing the law without having to go to court every time.
