Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The road traffic Bill is next year. The issue to which the Deputy referred pertains to the veracity of serving a summons. Elsewhere, if a summons is sent by post it is received, even if it is by registered post. Down here it is different because summonses have to be served. In other countries the way of dealing with that can differ. The discussions between here and Northern Ireland have not yet concluded and the Minister is trying to arrive at a compromise that will be acceptable. Issues also arise in regard to the courts.
