I am glad to hear that.
Can I say, before we finish the meeting, that I absolutely reject what the Deputy says about the role of the RSA? Regulation is passed by the Oireachtas and any powers the RSA has comes from there. I would like to see greater enforcement, not less. As for the loss of anyone's life as a result of dangerously defective buses or cars or of dangerous driving, the pain and suffering of those families is at nothing compared with the fact that buses should be and must continue to be regulated in a fair and objective manner.
I will close this part of the meeting.
