Mr. Kent is talking about times when everything is going well. He said there are a number of Road Safety Authority, RSA, requirements which have to be met at the time contracts are issued. Quite clearly, those requirements are not being met. If they were, there would not be a number of buses that have failed and fallen into the category that they did when they were inspected by the RSA in the past 12 months. I do not want to tar all private contractors with one sweeping brush but there are some that are failing to adhere to their obligations. From what Mr. Kent is saying, the contractors need to provide all the necessary documentation at the outset to obtain the contract. They cannot substitute an inferior bus at a later stage to maintain the contract. What are the consequences for those who break those guidelines or regulations?
