Mr. Martin Callinan:

It has happened. Maybe people might feel that they have the authority; if one is a superintendent or inspector acting, one may feel they have the authority. Some may have contacted their colleagues, they make an agreement and it is cancelled. That is not going to happen any more. The decision is made, the recommendation is made and then it is forwarded to the fixed charge office in Thurles and they are the people who will terminate it, so there can be no fudging on this now. If I tried to cancel a ticket - as has happened in the past - in the Deputy's area, I could have done that but I cannot do that any more.
