I thank Mr. Walsh. I also wish to raise an issue that has been going on for a number of years. There were 40 driver instructors working in the field for the RSA. They were not offered permanent contracts. Their contracts were extended and extended and then basically came to a halt. It is ironic to think about all the delays in trying to secure a driving test, yet the RSA has these qualified people on its books who are more than willing to take up the job but they were not embraced by it. Why did the authority take that course?
