Question 443: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the amount raised on foot of penalty points since its inception; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9445/06]

Information on the amount of money accruing on foot of payments from fixed charge notices and court fines in connection with which penalty points were imposed is not readily available and could only be obtained by the expenditure of a disproportionate amount of staff time and resources. All moneys received are surrendered to the Exchequer as extra Exchequer receipts and are accounted for in the appropriation accounts.
