Question 58: To ask the Minister for Transport if he has reviewed the comments made by the Courts Service to find an alternative method for the collection of fines for motoring offences; if he has made a submission to the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform or had discussions with the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform in this regard; his views on further comments by the Courts Service that urgent changes to road traffic legislation are necessary after Garda figures show that up to 50% of all motorists are failing to pay fines for offences such as speeding and the non-wearing of seat-belts; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
