Good morning, Commissioner. At the outset it is only fair that we put on the public record the good work that is being done by An Garda Síochána and the thousands of men and women who risk their lives for us on a daily basis. We should always take cognisance of that fact in our deliberations.

I will make one comment on Templemore College. It is quite remarkable that Templemore College is where the fraud squad is trained and now we have learned what has gone on. Perhaps the matter is for discussion on another day.

In terms of the inflated figures for breath tests, how many individuals from the time that a garda on duty inputs his or her information do the figures go past before they are published?
