I am sure it was happily for the sake of the Deputy's marital relations. I thank Deputy Ó Murchú. I will come in on a number of points. In terms of long-term planning, we are talking about five more centres and recruiting more people. Mr. Synnott mentioned the fact that cars are getting older and the availability of new cars. Obviously, once they are four years old, regardless of how good or bad they are, they come into the system and can take up a half an hour or 20 minutes or 15 minutes in a lane and so on. To be fair, I think we might lose sight of this sometimes when we are giving out about things but when I went down, it was great. I had one wheel nut missing and I went off and got a wheel nut. I came back and they checked all four tyres to make sure I had not moved the wheel nut from one wheel to another, which apparently quite a lot of people do. I was actually surprised at how quiet it was. It seemed really quiet and this was Deansgrange, which is officially the busiest centre. It seemed much quieter on a Wednesday afternoon than I had ever seen it before. I wondered whether these were all no shows. This was at a time when it was very difficult to get a test.
