I welcome the fact the CEO stated she will make contact with the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission. Perhaps the European competition authorities also need to be consulted on this on a wider basis. There is a possibility here that funding from Europe is being utilised within the system and we would like to get to the root of all of this to get a fuller picture. For the NTA's own sake, it should also consult with the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport. That would be very wise given that this is a very serious matter. At this stage, all the nails must be hit on the head properly and all the relevant authorities approached which are stakeholders in this.
