Brian Hayes (Fine Gael)

It was slightly more complicated than that. The Senator will have to look at the proceedings of the Dublin District Court three weeks ago. The time of gardaí should not be wasted on such issues. They should be on the streets and in stations dealing with law enforcement. Too often we waste their time on traffic infringements. We should introduce a much more streamlined approach through the penalty points system. The efforts made by the Government to date have been good. The Minister should accept the suggestions made in a non-partisan way.
