I propose to take Questions Nos. 431 and 437 together.

The numbers of prosecutions and convictions for breaches of the three tonne limit on Kennelsfort Road, Palmerstown, for 2003-05 to date are shown in the table.

Further prosecutions are being considered in several other cases. According to the Garda authorities, the increasing trend in notices issued is indicative of active enforcement of the weight limit on Kennelsfort Road by both local and Dublin metropolitan region traffic division personnel.
