Mr. Michael O'Sullivan:

That is a very narrow view of a document of 85 pages. Taking the whole system in its entirety, one should read the Garda Inspectorate's report of 2008, which focused on this area, and the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission's report, which also focused on this area. I stated in my report on the fixed charge notice system that the GSOC report "concentrated on the areas that were causing members of the public to make complaints, however in doing so, the report highlighted areas that would improve the overall operation of the system going forward". The GSOC report highlighted that the system was not fit for purpose.
