Recent Controversies Concerning An Garda Síochána
9:00 am
Mr. Michael Finn:
No, I would say it was a focus on enforcement of the Road Traffic Act in terms of carrying out checkpoints, breath testing people and reassuring the public and law abiding citizens that those who are misbehaving will be apprehended by the Garda Síochána. The Road Safety Authority surveys indicate to us that the greater the visibility of An Garda Síochána in terms of checkpoints and breath testing, the more likely the general public will comply with the law.
