Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

The Minister of State looked into the camera and gravely assured the public that there were no persons being sought for serious offences in respect of whom warrants had not been executed. How does he know that? He does not have the profile for the outstanding warrants. While it may be the appropriate thing to say, is there any scientific basis for it? Is he serious that a significant number of the outstanding warrants relate to fines of €100 or less?
