The Criminal Justice Working Group was established to oversee and facilitate the implementation of the recommendations of the Garda Inspectorate report on the Fixed Charge Processing System (FCPS).

The Group is currently considering the future vision for the system, including any adaptations which may be necessary in legislation or in the procedures of the various State agencies involved, in order to improve the operation of the FCPS.  The issue of surrender of licences  upon disqualification will be addressed as part of this process.
