Absolutely, and I concur with Mr. Walsh on that. I have no issue there and I have no issue with recommending that everyone should have their car tested. I just have the issue that if the car is tested in November and is a couple of months late getting tested through no fault of the driver, the driver only has a short period of time before they have to get the car tested again. I just have an issue with that and a lot of people out there have that problem. The old thing will be thrown up, that it is only to make money for the testers and that is that is why they keep doing it that way. I am not sure that is the case because I understand the pressure the NCTS is under, but it is something that needs to be considered in the context of the huge backlog we have now.

I am conscious of time. The other issue I wanted to raise is in regard to the driver centres and the driver test centres. Particularly in Dublin, I know there is a huge delay and backlog in Tallaght and that area, and there have been suggestions in the past of having a second driver testing centre there, or in that general area. Are there any plans in regard to that?
