I thank Mr. McDonnell very much for his very detailed submission. I believe there were 52 recommendations, of which 26 are applicable to the Dáil and the Seanad as both Houses would deal with them. There are many recommendations there, some of which look relatively straightforward while others look more complicated. I do not want Mr. McDonnell to pick just one but can he suggest three, four or five that he would say are the quickest fixes, the ones that could be implemented by Christmas or by next June? What are the things the Freight Transport Association would like to see done?
I am quite concerned about the talk about the book of quantum because if it is only going to reflect the prevailing scenario, one could end up with a book of quantum that actually raises the figures. Equally, judges still do not have to pay attention to it. What would be the FTA's two or three recommendations?
