Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael)

In view of the fact that the penalty points system has been brought into disrepute due to the fact that 20,000 drivers were handed down serious convictions in the District Courts for road traffic offences such as dangerous driving, driving without insurance, driving defective dangerous vehicles, etc., and the penalty points incurred cannot be applied to them because the law does not require the compulsory recognition of the driving licence number, when will the Road Traffic Bill 2009 be brought before the Dáil to address this issue?
