Before I ask my question, we must acknowledge the good work that gardaí have done in recent years. We have seen an improvement in road safety and I want to support that.

The Minister, Deputy Ross, in the past number of months has sought a review of section 29 of the Road Traffic Act 2010 and he has come before the Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport in regard to new statistics. Has the Tánaiste kept the Minister, Deputy Ross, informed of the ongoing audits being carried out by the Garda and the Commissioner over the past number of months, given there may be discrepancies in the figures being used and anomalies that need to be highlighted? Should the Minister, Deputy Ross, have pulled back in his push-ahead with the amendment of section 29 of the Road Traffic Act 2010?
