Ms Moyagh Murdock:
As Mr. White, our finance manager, pointed out, the cost is very much driven by volume and demand. It also depends on the nature of the licence application, which can be for three years or ten years, or for a person aged over 70 years. The over-70s licence application does not attract an income and the charge for a shorter-term licence is lower, at €35, than the €55 charge for a ten-year licence. The figures are based on forecasted demand and will change over time, as demand is not guaranteed.
