It is a criminal conviction. What is the number of gardaí in the traffic corps at the moment? I know that the numbers were reduced down through the years around the country. No one condones someone who is three, four or five times over the limit, which I have seen. With the best will in the world, if the limit was down to zero, has An Garda Síochána the resources? It all comes down to whether An Garda Síochána has the resources to go out from A to B. What are the numbers are in the traffic corps at present? I think it was up to 1,200 but came down to 700. Is that correct? What are the numbers of gardaí on the ground?
