I will give the assistant commissioner an example. Nine times out of ten I could leave here and drive out almost to Avoca in CityWest and there will be a speed van in a particular location. I could nearly bet my life on it. There is a reason I am asking the question. I am aware it is about analysis, but I would like to hear the analysis that informs what the Garda does. I can tell our guests where the Garda will potentially use a speed trap, if I can use that phrase, on the road. I am not against it, as they know, but it just baffles me that I can tell our guests the spots between here, Portlaoise, Abbeyleix, Tipperary, Kilkenny, Cork to Limerick and Tipperary down to Cork.
