Penalty points are part of the overall Government strategy to reduce road deaths, which has been in place since 1997. The full implementation of the penalty points system will, however, require a range of resources, particularly in the area of information technology, which are not yet in place. The points system initiative, as we have seen in the area of speeding, will work well, but it will take time and all the necessary structures will have to be in situ. The Garda Síochána has done a wonderful job, but we cannot expect it to fully implement the system until it is given the necessary resources. These will be in place at the end of the current year.
