I mentioned on-the-spot fines, of which there were 1,069 in 2020.

Of those fines, only 548 were paid. There were 82 prosecutions. Again, that number is substantially lower than in previous years. There were 411 in 2015 and 304 in 2016. Since then there has been a year-on-year reduction. Of the 82 prosecutions, there were only 20 convictions. Does the Department have a view on those rates? Are they are acceptable success rates?
