My point still stands. There is basic purchasing involved here. Either there were 1,996,365 mouthpieces or not. It is incredible we still do not have that information. I find it incredible. I want the Commissioner or Mr. Finn, if he is more aware, to talk me through how this works. How does the mandatory breath testing work from when the vehicle leaves the station? Before it leaves the station, what does it do? Does a garda have to go and get a set number of these mouthpieces? How are they signed for? How are they recorded? Will the Commissioner or Mr. Finn talk me through that process so I have a better understanding?
