I thank the Minister for her interest. I have a question on the Garda ICT and what is being rolled out. As I understand it the local gardaí have an app on their phones whereby they can download stuff. However, there is an issue in regard to the ability to access, for example, road traffic information, such as whether car is taxed or a person has a valid licence. Will this facilitate the roll out of that to all members of the Garda? Surely it would be vitally important to gardaí in local communities to know what cars are taxed and insured, what drivers are banned and so forth. Will it facilitate increasing the availability of this to local gardaí on the beat?
