89. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality the current status of section 22 of the Road Traffic Act 2002 regarding the offence of not producing a driving licence in court and the wording of summonses to inform persons of this offence; if she has rectified this; if she can provide a timeframe for the matter to be resolved given her response dated 29 August 2016 stating that matters require clarification; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

As the Deputy will be aware, a number of arrangements are in place in relation to the production of driver licences in Court. Insofar as the bringing of prosecutions regarding the offences referred to are concerned, the Deputy will appreciate that I have no role in the bringing of particular prosecutions. However, I am informed that there is ongoing consultation between An Garda Síochána and other relevant agencies in relation to the issues which have arisen with respect to these matters.
