Following on from that, there obviously will be a bedding-in period during which the Garda gets the hang of this and the public gets an understanding of what it all means. I presume there will be some latitude arising from the fact this is a new law being introduced. I am speculating here because I am not sure that is how it works. People might claim they are not aware of the law. I presume there might be some degree of latitude to facilitate people in adapting to the new law. How long do the witnesses expect that bedding-in period to take?
