Can An Garda Síochána break that down into how much of that time is spent on the national routes and the motorways, as opposed to the urban centres, in order to deal with what is probably considered by many people to be minor? This includes, for example, a car that is parked on a footpath during the time in which children are going to school. That would push a child who is on a bike out into the roadway and into an unsafe situation. All those things should be included. Of the 5% that is allocated to roads policing, how much of is it done in the neighbourhood?
