I am not sure that it mentioned figures but it probably said it was concerned about the accuracy.
In respect of the Medical Bureau of Road Safety, the letter from it to An Garda Síochána was provided to me by the Commissioner at our meeting on 27 March. The letter did not set out any figures, nor did it raise any concerns about statistics. However, it referred to the ordering of testing equipment and noted that An Garda Síochána had not placed a request for additional equipment. Clearly, the implications of that should have alerted people at that point. It was after that, and as the audit emerged from the southern region, that the Garda authorities could see that they would need to audit further.
