That is a matter of opinion, Chairman. May I ask one more question? There has been a knee-jerk reaction in regard to the culture of the breath test kits not being used and an exaggeration of fears. One can see checkpoints in the afternoon. I was intercepted one afternoon at 4 p.m. when I was coming out of a local town. There was a queue of cars, with the drivers waiting to be breath tested. I asked the garda what was happening and he told me they were conducting a mandatory checkpoint. Are we gathering figures for the sake of building up figures? Now there will be 2 millions tests conducted and most of them will be okay.
