I accept that. I have raised the issue and I think everybody understands my point. My next question is to all of the witnesses who are serving members of An Garda Síochána. The report on breath testing was published. All of the witnesses who are serving members of An Garda Síochána have had significant careers in the organisation, having served in various jurisdictions and worked there way up through the organisation, in respect of which I commend them all. Some of the witnesses are policing in Dublin and others are policing in areas in respect of which breath test data has been hugely elevated, including DMR west. Prior to the breath testing issue becoming knowledge across the organisation, via various reports, did any of the witnesses have any idea that the figures were being inflated? I would like each serving member and not the civilian personnel to respond to that question.
