Deputy Fitzpatrick allow the witness to respond. I want to clarify for the committee that we went through the figures last week. Some 617 received fixed-penalty notices for 2016, and 501 in 2015. A figure of 758 was thrown into the mix somewhere along the line and a figure of 50%. I think it was a 23% increase, and it was 501 to 617. This is for the record as there was some confusion.
