Defendants are using non-receipt of a notice as a defence. It is the responsibility of gardaí to issue fixed charge notices. Reference was made earlier to the setting up of a high level committee to address various issues. Has the Courts Service ever flagged this issue with An Garda Síochána or the Department? The numbers are significant and if this legislation is unconstitutional then the problem is not going to go away any time soon. Has the Courts Service flagged this issue?
