In regard to the Crowe Horwath report on the checkpoints and mandatory alcohol testing and the inflation of numbers in that regard, when the Policing Authority appeared before us a week after the appearance before us of Assistant Commissioner Finn, the point was made that it was Ms Feehily's belief that all the evidence pointed to the fact it was easier for gardaí to provide false information than to provide accurate information.

The Crowe Horwath report clearly underlines the fact that there was, at the very least, implicit pressure. The Garda Representative Association, GRA, had raised previously the issue of active duress but the Crowe Horwath report clearly outlines that there was implicit pressure on gardaí to inflate the figures. Does Mr. Finn accept the Crowe Horwath report in full, and does he accept that contention?
