240. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality further to Parliamentary Question No. 265 of 15 of December 2015 regarding the number of fixed charge penalty notices and learner drivers, if that information is now available; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4923/16]

I am informed by the Garda authorities that the following Table 1 details the number of Fixed Charge Notices (FCNs) that were issued to learner drivers in 2014 and in 2015 for driving without being accompanied by a fully qualified driver and for non-display of L plates. I am further informed by the Garda authorities that 2,906 summons have been issued in regard to those FCNs that have not been paid. These figures are correct as of 14 January 2016 and are operational, provisional and liable to change.

I am informed by the Courts Service that there is no direct or electronic link between these prosecutions as recorded on the Criminal Case Tracking System (CCTS) and the FCNs originally issued by An Garda Síochána and therefore it is not possible to extract the information sought by the Deputy.
