Mr. Liam Duggan:

It is a fixed charge. It is the same as if one was caught speeding by a garda. As the CEO just stated, it will be a significant change for us. There is little point taking someone to court two years after an event. It has lost its deterrence value at that stage. It is much more likely to have a deterrent effect if it is immediate, timely and dissuasive. There is not much point in penalising a large bus or truck €200 or €300. The fines must be at a dissuasive level to obtain the change in behaviour we need. I hasten to add, as the CEO said, that there are many fine operators out there.
