Mr. Peter Mullan:

There are a number of reasons. The new fines regime was introduced by the Oireachtas by the Fines (Payment and Recovery) Act 2014 but it was not commenced until 11 January 2016, for a variety of reasons. A lot of ICT work needed to be done by the courts and there were certain procurement issues in that period. The new regime will have been in place for four years by January next year.
