Mr. Martin Callinan:
Yes, this is something we have been discussing with our colleagues in the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government for some time. As I mentioned in my opening statement, the way to fix this is through the new Bill. It is going to Committee Stage this evening so this will happen very quickly. This is the gapping Bill and will fix the problem we have had in the past in these types of situation because now there will be a requirement on individuals to declare that the car will be off the road in advance.
