One third. Much of what we have discussed today has been about the licensing problem and it is just that. It is something we can take on and deliver the message to the NTA, whose representatives are regularly before this committee. A big chunk of the CTTC business involves driving tourists around the west of Ireland, the Ring of Kerry and all the other things such as school tours, summer camps. I presume the issues there are mainly that companies are locked into arrangements in which, while the fuel costs have gone up massively, margins are tight and they are now delivering services that are at break-even point or even less. Equally, the council's members face huge challenges with driver retention and recruitment. I noticed reference was made to work permits more than to driving licences. Are organisations also having an issue with driving licences? The Road Safety Authority was before the committee last week and I had been asked, on behalf of the Moldovan ambassador, to make the point that there are people who want to be able to drive but who cannot get their driving licence exchanged in an efficient manner. Are there challenges with driving licences as much as with work permits or are they both presenting problems, or one more so than the other?
