I want to be clear. I am talking about the totality of what the Commissioner will be reporting back to the Minister in the future in how we improve this system as a whole and I have been giving specific examples. For example with the 11% for the summonses not issued, a fixed-notice fine was issued but no fine paid and no court summons so no court hearing. The Commissioner could set a target getting to, for example, 3% in two years time. He can then chart a plan as to how to get from 11% to 3% so that when we look at this in a year's time, we can see how the Garda is doing against that plan. Does such a plan exist or is it just an aspiration to do better?
