In his opening statement, Mr. Waide made reference to ambitions to open an NCT centre in Shannon, County Clare. That particular project has met a number of difficulties. A site was identified in Smithstown, Shannon, which is an industrial estate. Some of the plant was being built there last year but it came to an abrupt end due to contractual difficulties. As I understand it, the RSA will have to re-evaluate what it is going to do in Shannon. I believe that two sites are currently identified that the authority will pursue there. Will the witnesses give us an update as to where that proposal stands? When can we expect movement on it and a second test centre in County Clare?
