469. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality further to Parliamentary Question No. 138 of 21 March 2017, the number of fixed charge penalty point notices issued to drink-drivers detected at blood alcohol content levels between 50 mg and 80 mg in each of the years 2012 to 2016; the number of drivers who paid the fixed charge notice within the time limit; the number of drivers who were summonsed to court for failing to pay the fixed charge notice; the number of drivers convicted; the number of driver licence numbers recorded on conviction; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I understand from the response provided by the Tánaiste to Parliamentary Question No. 138 of 21 March 2017 that 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.

My Department has, again, requested a report from the Garda authorities in relation to statistics on drivers detected with blood alcohol content levels of between 50mg and 80mg for the years in question and will provide this information directly to the Deputy once it is to hand.
