The Deputy made a very positive suggestion about meeting young people immediately after a night out,...

Jerry Buttimer: I will give the assistant commissioner an example. Nine times out of ten I could leave here and drive out almost to Avoca in CityWest and there will be a speed van in a particular location. I could nearly bet my life on it. There is a reason I am asking the question. I am aware it is about analysis, but I would like to hear the analysis that informs what the Garda does. I can tell our...

I have, unfortunately, had to meet members of An Garda...
