As the Deputy is aware, very serious issues have arisen in relation to the administration of road traffic law by An Garda Síochána; however, the wording of the Deputy's question indicates that the two road traffic matters that have been highlighted by An Garda Síochána have been inadvertently conflated by the Deputy.
