Mr. Tom O'Mahony:

Taking the Deputy's point, the West Link is not entirely representative but I must be honest and state we regard that the work already done gives us a baseline. Our two priorities are to work with the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government on the legislation, because the single biggest problem is the local, and to improve enforcement. As I stated, we already follow up with the Garda on a weekly basis. The other measures I spoke about would greatly improve evasion figures. When the new system is in place, it would make sense for us, after a relatively short period of time, to conduct a comprehensive study and examine whether we can take on board more than the West Link. We can certainly examine the rate of improvement. It is reasonable for us to assume that taking the estimate of 5%, which has been the basis of our work so far, would mean we will not be very far removed from the actual situation.
