I understand that. The situation is like that of a guy asking for directions in Kerry and being told he should not be starting from there. However, we are where we are. It is not long since representatives of the RSA were before the committee. The Minister of State is not aware that the situation has got any worse. From her point of view, everything is being done in respect of recruitment, even considering the difficulties in recruitment across the board. I will add to what has been said before. Faster, quicker and better is what we need from our service. Delays are having detrimental impacts on many people, even from an employment point of view. We need to move things on as far as possible.

I will move on to consider TII. Everybody has heard the discussion around toll charges in the context of the cost-of-living crisis we are in. I apologise if I have missed anything because I was in the Dáil Chamber earlier. TII informed the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, of toll increases. Did it inform the Minister of State or the Department? What was the timeline involved and what communications have gone back to TII? I imagine most people are in agreement that now is not the time to be foisting additional costs on businesses or individuals.
