View answerAs stated in my response to Question no 118 of 28 January, I have been advised by the Garda authorities that all members of An Garda Síochána, through their mobility devices, have access to National Vehicle and Driver File (NVDF) data. This includes full licence/learner permit details, particulars of disqualifications and current penalty points.
