Mr. John Twomey:

It is not acceptable that only 11% of disqualified drivers have surrendered their licences. This matter needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency. There are two processes to deal with it. The first is ensuring that members of An Garda Síochána at the side of the road have access to the appropriate information at that time. In all of these issues, there are processes that take time to implement. We outlined earlier how that matter is being addressed through the issuing of 2,000 mobile phones this year.
