Mr. Nugent made the point that the Garda has stood over a number of successful ICT projects and so on. He referred to the automated number plate recognition system. It is well known that there were huge problems with this system which led to an enormous number of wrongful convictions that had to be corrected in or around 2015 or 2016. I am not sure of the exact date. Do we know the cost of that debacle? I have heard a figure of €6 million or so mentioned. Is that wide of the mark? Is it accurate?
