The National Safety Council, as the agency mandated with responsibility for road safety education and information, operates a dedicated penalty point website, www.penaltypoints.ie. I understand that the website is being redesigned-updated in the context of the changes pending on road safety issues and policy. The website will be operational again shortly. In addition, the National Safety Council is in the process of designing a public education-awareness campaign about the new penalty points offences, which will be launched this month in the lead up to the 3 April 2006 date for the extension of the penalty points system.
