Mick Wallace (Wexford, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I have not insinuated in any way that none of these terminations should have happened. I have said that the scale is frightening and merits serious investigation. It looks as if there is a serious delay in dealing with it. The termination of fixed penalty notices was mentioned in the original correspondence in January. The notion of hanging people is not something I am remotely interested in. I am not worried about the individuals who are on the list. I am worried about the massive scale of it and the implications for road safety and the running of the Garda Síochána.
