Ms Alison Coleman:

In support of Mr. Synnott, Applus+, the RSA and a number of other organisations have gone in this year to address critical skills. The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment did a recent review to ensure that a number of job roles that were deemed ineligible for permits would be removed from the list. We are trying everything we can in that regard. That would mean that mechanical technicians could be recruited without having to go through the whole permit process. We have submitted and the Department of Transport is supporting us in that regard. We wait to see whether that will help us in the future, and help Applus+.
