PQ 481

502 Mr. Bruton asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will report on the consequences of the High Court ruling that the use of laser guns to monitor speeding offences does not comply with road traffic legislation; if previous convictions using this technology are rendered invalid; if, in cases in which persons accepted the option of paying a fine and losing two penalty points rather than proceeding to have the issue dealt with in court, these fines will now be waived; and if this option provided in the legislation, designed to discourage the waste of court time, will not result in unlawful findings of guilt being made by way of legal notice.
