The assistant commissioner mentioned distractions. Are our vehicles today becoming too distracting? Are they becoming the dining room, the office, the entertainment or whatever else? Senator Horkan’s raised the point of having a black box in cars, which I know would never travel because of GDPR. However, on the issue of distractions, is our focus wrong? Are we focusing too much on speed? Is the distraction piece something we should focus in on?

My second and last point is on road incidents and being able to report bad parking or bad driving behaviour. I believe the Crimestoppers website stopped, is not functioning or perhaps is not being used perhaps for this. Could it be used for this? Is it being used by An Garda Síochána?

Again, I thank our guests for being here today.
