Based on these fines imposed on those who are caught, it actually pays to drive...

Fergus O'Dowd: We all have to go. I do not want to hold the Deputy up, but I have gone to the bother of inviting all these people today. If the Deputy wants to ask her questions, I have no problem with that.

Fergus O'Dowd: I have a question on naming and shaming. Years ago local papers were printed and everybody bought them, which no longer happens. One would see a list of people who would be convicted for road traffic offences, for drink driving or whatever. The witness is saying that one of the issues is data protection if one publishes the names of people who are convicted. How does that relate to people...

Fergus O'Dowd: Would it be worthwhile to get the view of insurance companies? If people are fraudulently saying they can drive because they have full licences, the insurance companies will have a lot of evidence. Perhaps they can provide statistics on those who have been caught improperly claiming to have insurance when they have no licence. Is there an issue in that regard? Would it make sense, data...
