With due respect, I do not think assumption is good enough. We are talking about designing policy and legislation based on hard facts. We need to know. I am just asking the question and maybe the facts and the figures are here and maybe I am stupid and not able to abstract them from this. A reporter on "Morning Ireland" this morning was able to say that in the past year, only two people prosecuted out of 8,000 for driving a car when they had been put off the road. Of those, one got a €500 fine and one got no fine.
