To be quite frank, in saying that, it would still involve a drive of an hour and a half, which is not acceptable. It is obviously the closest available date unless someone wants to go on a two-hour drive up the country, which Mr. Walsh knows is not an option for people living in most areas. It would be a major undertaking for somebody who might have a disability. People who are retired or old age pensioners might not like to be driving those distances. This is not acceptable. It is not practical. What it tells me is that there is systems failure by Applus in this area. Mr. Walsh said the RSA is holding it to account. Would he like to explain to the public what the RSA is doing to hold Applus to account? I have not seen anything and I would like Mr. Walsh to reference this.
