Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:

No, I do not agree that in so far as I mentioned earlier when Deputy Chambers asked me to give a hypothesis. The hypotheses is that people did not consider it. We are talking about preventative checkpoints that had been done and then as the Assistant Commissioner outlined, a day or two days or after a shift or two shift later, somebody was asked to enter a figure on behalf of the team that did the checkpoint. I absolutely accept it was administratively sloppy, as Deputy Farrell said. Hypothetically, did somebody not remember the number and make up a number? We have evidence to prove that there are reviews, checks and balance in respect of detections, arrests and prosecution under Operation Thor. The rigour applied to that is a different type of rigour and the rigour that applies across the broader spectrum of policing is what I have tasked the assistant commissioner with in the context of the overhaul and review of traffic and roads policy that we are doing because that rigour may not have been applied in the same way as would be applied to other policing activities, particularly around criminal enforcement and investigations.
