A detailed financial analysis of the work associated with the substantial technical and administrative measures necessary to commence the provision referred to by the Deputy has recently been concluded by a subgroup of the Criminal Justice (Fixed Charge Penalty System) Working Group.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that a number of PULSE software upgrades are scheduled every year to keep the system up to date with operational requirements and legislative changes such as new offences. In this regard three such software upgrades are planned for 2015 which will include enhancements across all areas of PULSE including summons.
