Ms Moyagh Murdock:

How long does one give them to re-offend? One cannot avail of this measure within a three-year period. As such, everyone who has been penalised and convicted in this fashion cannot avail of it and then the record disappears. That is my point. It is not an easily analysable figure because they have three years to expend their penalty points and they cannot avail of it again. Once they are in the clear, we cannot go back and look at their records to determine whether they have offended previously.
