I propose to take Questions Nos. 99 and 100 together.

The Deputy ill appreciate that I, as Minister for Justice and Equality, have no direct role in the enforcement of road traffic legislation, which is an operational matter for An Garda Síochána.

To be of assistance, I have forwarded your queries on roadside checks to An Garda Síochána and will respond to you directly on receipt of a response.
