It is. We were discussing this earlier and none of us was satisfied with the long delays in driver testing, NCTs and getting licences. With regard to testing, 18 months ago, the Road Safety Authority applied for 80 additional positions. We provided the first tranche of 40. It did not proceed with the second tranche but we are waiting for the final details to be able to sign off on it. I said earlier that it is not sitting on our desk but is awaiting a response from the Road Safety Authority. I am confident that we will get those additional 40 testing staff in and get the numbers back to a statutory limit for how long it takes.
