The collection of payments under the Fixed Charge Processing System was outsourced to An Post in January 2006.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that information provided by An Post details the amount collected in respect of all fixed charge offence notices that attract penalty points, as well as those that do not. These are referred to as Declaration Notices and Non-Declaration Notices respectively. Declaration Notices refer to relevant road traffic offences. Non-Declaration Notices include relevant traffic and public order offences.

The amounts collected in respect of Declaration Notices and Non-Declaration Notices for each of the years from 2010 to 2012 are illustrated in the table.
