The time factor in this instance is significant, from the moment the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment is notified, the paperwork involved, when the drivers arrive here, and then to get the exchange done. This is taking inordinate time with the result that many employers in Ireland have been discouraged from taking on South Africans. The issue is that they are available and we have a problem that could be solved where the authority, it would appear, is playing a role in holding this problem up. I believe the authority needs to have a look at that in respect of the bureaucracy involved in it. Is there duplication?
