I recently raised here the disqualification of drivers and driver licences that were surrendered. In 2011, 2012 and 2013 only 6% to 7% of those disqualified through the courts handed back their licences. In response to a parliamentary question, the CEO of the Road Safety Authority, RSA, advised that the RSA and the Courts Service were engaged in an exercise to reconcile data that involves managing and matching information between the Courts Service and persons identified in the courts against the consequential record in the National Vehicle Driver File. The RSA anticipated that this exercise would be completed by mid-January 2019. Has the Courts Service completed that body of work with the RSA? Are these figures accurate?
