I support the comments of my colleague, Senator Mark Daly, on the Bill. It is technical and one which we all concede is needed. Senator Mark Daly has rightly referred to the efficiency of court administration and the freeing up of Garda resources, but we also hope the Bill will deal the issue of people using the excuse that they did not receive a notice through the post. When I reflect on the Bill - I am sure the Minister of State does likewise - above all else, we should be hopeful that it will act as a deterrent to speeding in the first place. That should remain our focus. I will have more to say on the next Stage, but for now we support the Bill, as it stands.
