The second thing that came into public view and was extensively reported in the national media was the suggestion that gardaí were going to stop fining drivers. That ties in with earlier conversations to some degree. Anecdotal evidence was given or suggestions were made that gardaí were issuing cautions to motorists rather than fines as part of an unofficial work to rule or protest. Does the Commissioner have any evidence that that happened and, if so, is he satisfied that with the ongoing LRC engagement, it is no longer the case?
