I was having trouble with my computer earlier. I think Deputy Verona Murphy brought up the issue of penalty points not applying to a third country outside the EU. This would have applied to the UK since 1 January. Let us suppose there are two drivers on the same road. One is subject to the law and the other is not. How is that fair? How is that a level playing field? I am not sure whether the Minister answered that. Like Deputy Murphy, I was having some technical troubles. Can the Minister go over that point again, please?
