Engagement with Road Safety Authority
Mr. Brendan Walsh:
We have a target to be below 12 days. to do that there are certain initiatives that Applus+ have to put in place, including the introduction of the additional testers that are coming into the country from Spain and from abroad. That will really help. Applus+ have also worked with their teams in place at the moment to increase the number of hours that are physically available for working. Those hours have seen a single increase. We had a reported 28,000 tests carried out last week. This has steadily been growing since we started the implementation of this plan with Applus+. We have a process in place and we are monitoring it. We are in almost daily discussions with the company around the performance and how we are steering them. We have a target to be back on track regarding the service-level agreement by quarter 2 of next year.
