With the indulgence of the Chair, I would like to ask a final question. Members would be interested in seeing a timeline for the interactions around moving from establishing the problem to resolving it.

In respect of serious collision data, we had relied on the Garda Síochána and now, because of recommendations made by the European Commission, we are starting to take the serious injury data from hospitals, which I assume leads to a greater number of serious casualties being reported. How has that move impacted the €1.3 billion figure that was given for, I think, 2022? Have we underestimated the cost of serious collisions because of the change in methodology?
