175. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of penalty points issued as a result of having been identified by An Garda Síochána using the automatic number-plate recognition system to date; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9642/22]

The details requested by the Deputy cannot be extracted from the National Vehicle and Driver File (NVDF) database, as the method used in detecting penalty point offences is not supplied by An Garda Síochána or The Courts Service.
