I thank Ms O'Donnell and Mr. Grant. The issue in respect of instructors is significant and needs to be resolved. With regard to the capacity issues, the committee might look at writing to the Minister. This issue needs to be expedited. I accept that the RSA is trying to move it on as quickly as possible.

The main focus of the RSA is, obviously, on reducing the number of fatalities and the severity of injuries. Ms O'Donnell has already talked about legislative changes, penalty points and so on. Does she see any other useful actions that Government could take in the future?

My other question relates to Dublin Port. I welcome what has been said in respect of Brexit. I believe Mr. Grant said that sufficient preparations had been made. Does the port company have all the resources it requires, including those relating to building work or IT systems? Does it require anything else from Government to deal with the situation as regards Brexit?
