- Road Traffic Bill 2016 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (15 Dec 2016)
John Lahart: It would be interesting to know how many fines for €2,000 have been issued. I know the Minister cannot get that information now and it would come under the Department of Justice and Equality. The Minister might be able to provide Deputies with those figure in the next period. I would be interested to know how that is enforced. We are all familiar with the penalty points that accrue...
- Road Traffic Bill 2016 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (15 Dec 2016)

John Lahart: I am grateful for the Minister's response. I want to pick up on something he said earlier. The Minister has outlined how his hands are tied, but the House would welcome if he recognised the need for action to be taken on this in some shape or form. He recognises that there is a lacuna that needs to be addressed. He mentioned making a recommendation to his colleague, the Tánaiste and...
- Road Traffic Bill 2016 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (15 Dec 2016)
John Lahart: What Deputy Broughan suggests is sensible. A couple of points struck me about what the Deputy is highlighting about the speedy transfer of information. This is all about ensuring that drivers who are legally in a position to drive are driving in a safe environment and that those who have been convicted of a particular driving offence are removed as speedily as possible from the roads...

- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions (14 Dec 2016)
