Good afternoon. I am sorry that I was not here for the witnesses' presentation. I had to be elsewhere. On the issue of driving tests, one county councillor in County Tipperary, Séamie Morris, contacted me regarding driving tests. Initially, when I thought about it, I thought it was a bit odd, but when I thought more carefully, it made at least a little sense. He wondered about driver testing taking place in local estates where driving schools are bringing people to the same areas to practise their three-point turns, reversing around corners, and so on. He saw this as a safety issue within his community. He wondered why, with modern technology being what it is, we have not got to a stage where we can do driver testing in a virtual environment. Have the witnesses anything to say on that?
