Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed) - Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Road Safety Authority (9 Jul 2019)

Tommy Broughan: In my earlier question, I referred to information that came to me from the Courts Service regarding people in court for non-payment of fixed-charge notices for speeding, drink-driving and holding a mobile phone.
