Ms Moyagh Murdock:

We engage with our parent Department and with the Courts Service on improving efficiency. We are working with the Courts Service and the driver and vehicle computer services division, DVCSD, of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport to automate the feed from the courts to provide the RSA with instant overnight feeds on outcomes and convictions from court cases. We want to get that on a real-time basis, as happens in the North of Ireland. At the moment, it is done by way of a monthly file to allow for the appeals process.

We cannot be notified until that appeal window closes.
