In fairness, while I appreciate and welcome the Deputy's presence, I want to provide the facts. I welcome the Deputy. It is great to have him here, particularly as he has a personal knowledge of the business. The committee asked to talk about the report that was published in The Irish Times. We have no control over the RSA, but it is replying to the question we asked it. The RTÉ report stated that over half of all school buses had received failing grades over a 12-month period. That is what we sent to the RSA. What the Deputy is reading is its reply. The discussion is about that but if it is helpful, the committee might be able to agree to have a meeting about all of the issues in respect of other vehicles on the road. Today, and in fairness to our guests, we are just dealing with this.
