Mr. Sam Waide:

If you travel on the Luas tram without a valid ticket, you can receive a fine of €100. The on-the-spot fine for littering or dumping is €150. The fine for gum litter is €150. Fines for dog fouling can range from €150 to €3,000. One of the strategic actions within this strategy for road safety to reduce and prevent loss of life involves reviewing the penalty points system. The system has not changed since 2014. I will not go through the details, but a very important action within the strategy review is reviewing penalty points and the consequence for those people who continue to take drugs while driving or drink while driving and other offences that might appear smaller. The Deputy mentioned earlier about cars parked illegally in cycle lanes and bus lanes. That particular action is important. From a legislation point of view, it is about putting it in the context of what is the consequence both in terms of a fine and penalty points.
