My officials have received a copy of the report of the examination, carried out by Assistant Commissioner Michael O'Sullivan, of the recording of breath tests at Mandatory Alcohol/Intoxicant Testing (M.A.T./M.I.T.) Checkpoints. I understand that the report contains a breakdown, by Region/Division in tabular form, of the number of MAT/MIT Checkpoints, the number of those Checkpoints on PULSE, the average duration (time) of each Checkpoint, the number of breath tests recorded on the roadside breath testing equipment (Drager) and so on. I also understand that a further breadown by district, as referred to by the Deputy, is not anticipated.
