Denis Naughten (Longford-Roscommon, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of urgent importance, namely, in light of the virtual collapse of the penalty points system following the recent court decision on the use of Garda speed detection equipment, the urgent need for the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Deputy McDowell, to explain why such equipment was purchased without a print-out facility, and for the Minister for Transport, Deputy Brennan, to state categorically how he intends to address that loophole; the impact it will have on penalty points issued to date; and the time scale for addressing the matter.
