I am of the view that there is a crisis, particularly when one looks at the figures for those who handed in their licences between 2011 and 2018. The number has hovered between 6% and 19%. It seems to have decreased again because the figure for 2018 was 13%. Even if we allow for an appeals process whereby someone wins an appeal and is taken off the disqualified list, the figures are still very high. They are drastic in the context of what they say about the administration of justice through our Road Traffic Acts and how they are enforced by An Garda Síochána. The Garda must be hugely concerned.
