That is next year, again. I ask the RSA to go back to the drawing board. Nine months is not an acceptable time for people to wait. It needs to get on to the Garda and link in with its system. People are being stopped and some of them are getting three penalty points through no fault of their own. It is more difficult to get penalty points cancelled than to get them in the first place. We ask for that commitment. We also ask the RSA to back to examine the staffing levels. With due respect, saying that the authority needs to take on another 63 staff, when it has 256,000 people on the waiting list and a delay of nine months, is not acceptable.
