Mr. Peter Mullan:

I have one further figure which might be of assistance to the Deputy. A full 80% of persons detected as having committed a relevant motoring offence avail of the first two options under the fixed charge notice. In fact, the vast majority of persons actually pay the fixed charge. The remaining 20% are the ones that end up in court and a subset of them claim that they have not received the notice. To clarify, 80% of the recipients of fixed charge notices pay the penalty and do not come into our system. The vast majority pay the fixed charge.
