​The Master Licence Record (MLR) system, which will link vehicles with drivers on the National Vehicle and Driver File (NVDF), is envisaged as a key element to deliver on a system to ensure all offences are successfully endorsed on driving licences. The MLR, however, will not cater for situations where the offender has no direct association with the vehicle. The project is progressing and in order to mitigate any legislative and administrative problems, the project team has engaged with the Office of the Attorney General, the Data Protection Commissioner's Office, the Gardaí and other key stakeholders to finalise the requirements.
