I will move on but I suggest the Commissioner has already laid the blame on every member of the Garda Síochána in her opening statement and she has failed to withdraw that when I have given her the opportunity to do so. That is misguided on her part.
With regard to the figure of 14,700 we have heard about since the press conference, can the Commissioner inform the committee if it is the case that each of those 14,700 prosecutions were carried out as a result of the persons involved not being afforded the opportunity to pay a fixed charge notice? Is that the case?
