When I was reading newspaper reports, one comment by a journalist caused concern for many: "Up to now, the practice has been to catch as many motorists as possible for minor offences as traffic gardaí are set targets for fines." Does the Commissioner agree with that assertion? The Garda Síochána has a very important job to do on road safety and the progress made is significant and important. Are people sent out with a directive to bring in a certain amount of revenue?
