Has the RSA communicated with An Garda Síochána that it has a concern this issue is not being followed up? The figures show clearly that of 11,000 drivers who have been disqualified, only 722 have surrendered their permits. Have the witnesses followed up on that matter with An Garda Síochána? Mr. Waide stated the primary purpose of them appearing before the committee relates to road safety, and this is a serious road safety issue, perhaps the most serious when a court determines someone should not be behind the wheel of a car.
