I am happy to repeat what I said earlier today. The report gives me confidence that the penalty point system has integrity. It has been hugely successful in terms of freeing up Garda time and changing Garda behaviour. The report found that a small number of gardaí may not have used their discretionary powers appropriately but that is a matter for the Minister for Justice and Equality and the Garda Commissioner to discuss after the report is published this afternoon. It is not appropriate for me to speak about Garda matters.
