That answer seems way too complicated for me. I ask Mr. Waide to listen as this is very straightforward. We request, on behalf of Deputy Lowry, that the RSA finds a mechanism whereby, for anyone who has applied for a national car test, their details are on a computer system that can be accessed by An Garda Síochána so that when a garda stops a vehicle these details can be viewed straight away. With the best will in the world a range of people apply for an NCT many of whom may have forgotten about their application and people are reliant on how their NCT status is received by the Garda although individual gardaí are very good. If information on NCT applications was visible to the Garda it would avoid ambiguity and dispel confusion. Based on the fact that the RSA has caused the delay then it should be possible for the RSA to reduce anxiety for people by putting this information on a computer system so a garda can see that an application for an NCT has been made and, therefore, the person in the vehicle is compliant and the garda can wave them on.
