I thank Mr. Mullan for that information. It was reported last month that one quarter of drivers detected using their mobile phones while driving did not receive summonses and of the cases that made it to court, only half resulted in convictions. Given that cases were brought before the courts, one would imagine that evidence was presented by gardaí who saw drivers on their phones. In that context, I am curious as to why only half of those brought before the court were convicted.
