Ms Paula Hilman:

Yes. Certainly, as the Commissioner said, where these offences are taken, either those relevant to animals or to road traffic legislation, these are investigated.

It is similar to the approach to scramblers. We are looking at how we can prevent it and whether there is an opportunity for it to take place somewhere else, such as, for example, on private land. We are doing a great deal of work on that. Part of our other portfolio is working with the Garda travel advisory group. We work with representative groups to see if something can be done to prevent this from happening on public roads and if some sort of facility could be developed. It is a conversation at this stage. As well as enforcement in respect of scramblers, part of that project is looking at whether private land could be used for that. We are looking at how we can resolve this long term.
