Road Safety: Motion.
I ask the Minister to speed up consultation with the authorities in the Northern Ireland so that drivers from that jurisdiction can be included in the penalty points system. It is a disgrace that while cars registered in the South do their best to obey the speed limit, they are being overtaken on our roads by cars registered in Northern Ireland, driven by those who know that the most that will happen is that they will be given a fine of €80 and sent on their way. The sooner this scheme is extended to include drivers from Northern Ireland, and vice versa in that jurisdiction, the better for road safety.
