Denis Naughten (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Fine Gael)

With regard to the roll-out of the GATSO vans, does the Minister of State agree that in order for the eight cameras at 700 locations throughout the country to be effective there needs to be permanent signage erected on the 700 sections of road? Will the Minister of State put this signage in place? It does not involve a significant cost but it has a major impact.

With regard to the roll-out of the Danish model, which is the way we should go, if it is to be effective we cannot have a situation where one third of the driving public is exempt from penalty points. Does the Department have any plans to introduce a system like that in place in the UK whereby ghost driving licences are used for non-UK citizens so they can accumulate penalty points and be put off the road? This would ensure that everyone who drives on Irish roads must adhere to the laws of this country.
