Mr. Sam Waide:

Roughly, that was at least three months ago, but I will confirm when that was the case. The roads policing unit of An Garda Síochána is aware of that. The last time I was before the committee, Chief Superintendent Hennebry confirmed that the Garda is aware of the leniency that is being provided to people on the road. I cannot recall exactly when the committee meeting was. We reiterate that message. I meet An Garda Síochána on a regular basis and we can assure the committee that the regional assistant commissioners, not just those involved in the roads policing unit, are aware of that and make sure that it is understood and disseminated to local Garda officers so that it is not the case. I am not aware of a particular case, but I can commit to that.
