I propose to take Questions Nos. 51, 52, 53 and 56 together.

I have requested a report from the Garda authorities in relation to the matters referred to in the Deputy's questions and I will contact the Deputy directly upon receipt of a Garda report. I have also requested a report from Courts Service concerning those questions that refer to court fines and, again, I will contact the Deputy directly upon receipt of a report from Courts Service.
