The following tabular statements provide details of the number of Penalty Points Issued by Month and Licensing Authority in the period January 2011 - November 2013.  "No Driver Number"  on the statements represent drivers whose recorded details did not match a driving licence number on the National Vehicle and Driver File database e.g. Northern Irish or overseas licences. This particular problem is being addressed in the Road Traffic (No.2) Bill 2013, which is currently at Committee Stage in the Dáil, which, if enacted, will allow for penalty points to be applied against Northern Irish or overseas licences.
