I propose to take Questions Nos. 209, 214 and 215 together.

The Deputy will appreciate that I have no direct role in relation to the enforcement of road traffic legislation which is an operational matter for An Garda Síochána. I have, however, sought information from the relevant agencies involved in the management of the matters referred to by him and will reply further as soon as I receive this information.
