I thank the IRHA for the presentation, which was helpful. I propose that we compile the evidence we have taken today and submit it to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport and the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government. Mr. Nolan identified three particular solutions. I am not so sure we can implement those solutions as some of them are outside the control of this jurisdiction. We need to ask the Government to find it within the laws of this State, or to amend our laws, to resolve the problem. What all three witnesses have clearly said is that the cost of doing business, based on the changes that have taken place, effectively make it completely anti-competitive to operate.
