I thank the witnesses for their presentation and for dealing with all of the queries that have been put to them this morning. I want to go back over the demarcation issue. An Garda Síochána has a concern about it. Coming from a legal background, I also have a concern about it from the point of view of clearly defining where the line is if there are prosecutions. For example, if there is a 50 km/h speed limit going into a town, there is a sign up that indicates drivers cannot travel at above 50 km/h beyond that sign. What do the witnesses suggest in respect of demarcation to ensure there is absolute certainty on this?
