Question· writtenPQ 478asked

503 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Transport if persons who incur penalty points pursuant to section 5 of the Road Traffic Act 2002 and who pay their fines on time receive notifications from the Department of Transport informing them that the endorsement of the penalty points is only made effective on their driving licences five to six months after the date of the alleged offence due to Garda administrative backlogs; that the five to six-month extension means motorists are serving three and a half years instead of the correct timeframe of three years for penalty points; if there is nothing stipulated in the Road Traffic Act 2002 to suggest that additional timeframe would be added to the three year timeframe by the Department of Transport to those who pay their fines on time; and if he proposes to deal with this serious loophole together with a number of the overall inadequacies associated with the penalty point system which are extremely unfair to those who pay their fines on time for the alleged penalty points.
