I have three small matters left. The Tánaiste asked for my views on psychometric testing. I am in favour of it for pilots, air traffic controllers or specialists, but I am not in favour of it for general induction at all. It could be brought in because 20,000 people might be applying for 100 jobs, as a blunt instrument and objective way of whittling the numbers down because everybody cannot be interviewed. However, that situation no longer arises. I am in favour of it for pilots, air traffic controllers and bomb disposal specialists, but not for general operatives. It is a superfluous thing that is slowing down the induction process. I did not do such a test. Did Deputy Stanton?
