We ask that the RSA, with the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, engage with foreign operators to see what can be done. It makes no sense that they can apply for a visa through the Department, at which time the RSA works on the licence and then, in many cases, wait many months when they arrive in Ireland before they can drive a truck. That makes no sense. I ask the officials to look at that. We will come back to the matter again as we are public representatives. We know the RSA has a body of work to do but what we have said here today is fair comment. It might be tough comment but it is fair.
