138. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality the total number of fixed charge penalty point notices issued to drink-drivers detected at blood alcohol concentration, BAC, levels between 50 mg and 80 mg in each of the years 2012 to 2016; the number of drivers who paid the FCN within the time limit; the number of drivers summonsed to court for failing to pay the FCN; the number of drivers convicted; the number of driver licence numbers recorded on conviction; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I have requested a report from the Garda authorities in relation to the information requested by the Deputy and I will contact the Deputy directly upon receipt of the relevant information.

Insofar as conviction statistics are concerned, the Courts Service is not in a position to match the prosecutions specified in the Deputy's question to court results. It follows that it is similarly not possible to ascertain the number of driver licence numbers recorded for the offence referred to in the question, where the offence specified results in a conviction.
