329. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of non-Irish EU citizens who have received penalty points for road traffic offences committed on Irish roads, by country, by year from 2022 to date in 2025; the number who were issued with a fixed charge penalty notice (FCPN); the number who paid the fine and received penalty points by year; the number summonsed to court for non-payment of the fixed charge notice; the number convicted and the penalties imposed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The National Vehicle and Driver File (NVDF) is the database of record for Irish Driving Licence and Learner Permit Holders. The NVDF does not store citizenship information as it is not captured during the driving licence application process. Place of birth is captured when a licence is first applied for but this is not necessarily the same as citizenship and is not updated if citizenship changes.
The issuing of FCPNs, subsequent payment of these and court summonses are all matters for An Garda Síochána. Convictions are a matter for the Court Services.
