I appreciate that the Minister of State has given me a comprehensive reply. Of course, I support any initiative that would save lives. In his reply, the Minister of State said that data, including local feedback, have been taken into account to identify blackspots where collisions are occurring. I will check this but I have no evidence that collisions are occurring in the areas I have mentioned such as that stretch of the Tuam road near the post office, the coast road in Oranmore and the section near St James' Church in Bushypark. What has the Minister of State to say in response to what I have put to him about the prevalence of people in such areas as Cregmore, Claregalway and Corrandulla getting fines repeatedly without evidence of collisions? What is his response to my comment about gardaí saying that they are fed up being caught themselves? Why are they not being filtered out?
