Seanad debates

Wednesday, 14 May 2003

The operation of the penalty points system has reduced the number of speeding offences but an individual I know very well received a letter in the post on 7 May stating that on 18 February he was doing 37 miles per hour in Cabra. It is not acceptable that it took from 18 February to 7 May for that person to be informed of this. I realise there are difficulties with the computer system but they should be sorted out as a matter of urgency. A person should not have to wait any longer than ten days to be informed that he or she has incurred penalty points. He or she may already have lost his or her licence. This is not acceptable.
