The final issue I want to raise is the breath test report that was prepared and published by An Garda Síochána. The Policing Authority is also preparing a report into that issue. When does Ms Feehily believe that report will be published? One of the points that jumps out from assistant commissioner Michael O'Sullivan's report is why are gardaí recording negative breath tests. Is that an issue upon which Ms. Feehily has reflected? Does she consider it is necessary for this information, which is not a crime statistic, to be recorded on PULSE, or will she await the report from her own consultants?
