The Garda system and the Courts Service system can exchange information. Equally, there is work to be done. I say this from experience of working with the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport on the possibility of integrating the driver licensing system. There are issues that need to be dealt with to enable systems to talk to one another. There is basic integration between An Garda Síochána and the Courts Service, but the issue of IT systems in public bodies is ongoing; it is one on which there is a constant requirement for development and integration. We are at a certain point on that journey, but there is more work to be done.
