I thank the witnesses for their presentations. It seems that there is no change and that Ireland is in agreement with many other countries on this issue. I want to ask about the tractor-related deaths which are the most frequently reported. I know the farming community is under pressure and I do not agree that testing is required. Can a vehicle be inspected or tested if it is on private land or must this be done only when the vehicle is on a public roadway? I worry that self-regulation is always a bad thing in any industry.
