It is a great report. The next time the RSA is throwing around €30,000 and wants a report like that, it should give me a call because I, and many people like me, would happily pull it together for that kind of wage. Regarding the opening statement, it is a case of 20 lashes for whoever drafted it. No legislation is proposed at this time. It was not just produced. Regarding its template, it involves everything in that report and everything Deputy Rock had come up and it is still there. As I understand it, it is to re-emerge on 31 January. It is suggestive of the fact that nobody really looked at this. We are here today to talk about e-scooters and Deputy Rock had to tell the witnesses that there is legislation. The statement said that we do not have legislation. "We" are the Oireachtas, not the Department and not the Government for that matter.
