That is why Dr. Shannon made his recommendation. The point I am making is that the recommendation has not yet been implemented. If this issue is as important as the acting Commissioner says it is - I agree that it is important - the recommendation should have been implemented by now.

On the fixed charge notice system, while I know the report on this matter is internal, this has been an unmitigated disaster. Apart from the consequences the matter will have in terms of people's lives, it will cost the State a fortune in compensation and repaying money, not to speak of the hours gardaí will spend correcting it. The report basically states that the reason the problem arose was the failure to inform the Garda Síochána information centre, GSIC, that from December 2014, a driver had a statutory right to be given the option to pay the fixed charge notice without a certificate. There was, therefore, a breakdown in communications. Who was responsible for this?

Assistant Commissioner O'Sullivan pointed out that there was no training and no overall governance in place. Who is taking responsibility for that?
