I have made my next point several times at committee meetings. It relates to the lack of resources. We were discussing the figures earlier. Does the Minister believe that because of the lack of resources, the consequential implementation of any legislation suffers? Does the Minister believe the figures could be higher were it not for the lack of resources? I realise the Minister referred to a 10% increase in the Garda traffic corps this year. However, that has not been delivered as of yet. When will we get it up to the levels required?
