I understand one of the main barriers to a quick and seamless introduction of section 44 was and is the IT systems of the stakeholders. When will they be updated?

I heard a Fianna Fáil Deputy speak on vacancies and so on in important courts. However, the experience of the Courts Service in respect of road traffic law has come across as incredibly inefficient.

The Courts Service, especially regarding road traffic law, has come across as being incredibly inefficient and, in some instances, as with the recent disclosure about the NCT and the prosecution of people who had paid their fixed charge notice for not having an NCT certificate, it sometimes seems that the actual problem lies with the Courts Service and not with An Garda Síochána. The media sometimes does not show that clearly enough, and it is something that perhaps the Minister could address. I welcome the additional resources for the Department and for An Garda Síochána, and I hope, particularly in the area of road safety, that those resources will be deployed to very good effect.
