As road traffic legislation is the responsibility of my colleague the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, the question of the commencement of section 54 of the Road Traffic Act, 2010 is a matter for consideration by him. As with any changes to the fixed charge system, technical and administrative measures have to be addressed to facilitate their introduction. I am informed by an An Garda Síochána that they will work with the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport and the Courts Service to ensure that appropriate systems and mechanisms are in place to facilitate any planned commencement of section 54 of the Act.
