Mr. Brendan Walsh:

On the waiting time for driver tests, I said in my opening statement, and I continue to say this, that where we are now is absolutely not good enough. What we have done now, however, is put in place a structure to ensure we return the service to normal. We have our first block of new testers in place. They started on 18 September, two days ago. We will continue to bring more testers in, as we have outlined. I agree with the Deputy that the situation now is not good enough. We are, though, working with the Department of Transport. We have a sanction from it to bring in up to 75 additional testers. This would bring the service back on track by the middle of next year. I do realise and understand the public's frustration and I wholeheartedly sympathise. My team, our board and I are doing everything we can. The Department of Transport has been really good in helping us to give us what we need, but it is going to take some time. I apologise for that.
