Mr. Martin Cooney:

As a preliminary point to that, there is no saving regardless of whether they run it during the day or at night, because the people who administer the tests are paid a salary and their appointment is on a 24-7 basis. Consequently, if they are dictated to turn up at 8 p.m., they must so do. For reservists, the sum costs in respect of the structure and the establishment are there and the administration is there. There is absolutely no saving whatsoever, if one uses the Defence Forces to administer these tests, in just changing them to be flexible. As I stated, the Permanent Defence Force gets no further incentive or pay for so doing. There are lots of issues with this and my colleague, Mr. James Scanlon, can allude to some of them.
