Drivers still evading penalty points over undelivered notices

Thousands of motorists are still escaping penalty points because their official notice is returned in the post marked “undelivered”.

That’s despite assurances by Garda management a year ago that an enforcement team would be in place to pursue returned notices.

A review by Judge Matthew Deery says: “There is a substantial number of fixed charged notices returned ‘Undelivered An Post’. This is of some concern and has already been highlighted by the Garda Professional Standards Unit.”
