The extension of the penalty points and related fixed charges systems to additional road traffic offences will be progressively implemented once the appropriate Garda Síochána IT processing system is fully operational and related administrative supports are in place. At that point, I will make the necessary statutory instruments.
The delivery of the IT system and administrative supports are matters for the Garda Síochána and the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform respectively and my officials are working closely with their counterparts in those agencies in a combined effort to expedite matters.
