I will ask one further brief question of the Commissioner. Is there a possibility to have surveillance of vehicles that may be used by certain criminal gangs or for basic matters such as when a vehicle lacks an NCT, tax or insurance? As many people go through tolling points periodically at which one's number is checked to ascertain whether one has a tag, is there a way in which this information could be correlated with the Garda in order that the force could access information that a particular vehicle, which might be of interest to it, is heading down the M7, the N5 or the M1? I acknowledge that private companies run these tolling points but surely this is a possibility if it is beneficial to the prevention of crime.
