Reference was made to 100 cars in 2004. A significant number of those cars are close to the 300,000 km limit. I do not buy what the Minister said. I do not ask him to micro-manage but the regional approach to the deployment of Garda personnel is discriminatory in that what one has, one holds. I indicated to the Minister on numerous occasions that there are wide variations and they cannot be accounted for by low rates of crime because it is obvious that is not the case in some of the regions.
