Sir, - Is it this newspaper or this Government that keeps repeating itself?
"Stringent new measures. . . to be introduced shortly. . . which include a penalty-points system" (The Irish Times, July 28th, 1998). "The Government is set to publish .. . a penalty points system for motorists" (IT, July 31st, 1999). "A penalty points system for driving violations is to be introduced" (IT, July 14th, 2000). "The Government is to introduce a penalty points system for road traffic offences" (II, January 30th, 2001). - Yours, etc.,
Eric Beasley, Upper Mount Pleasant Avenue, Ranelagh, Dublin 6.
