Mr. McCarthy, there's an anomalous situation in Ireland where country boreens in the west of Ireland have a speed limit of 100 km/h on them, but you don't drive 100 km/h on those country boreens because it's quite dangerous. Just because the sign says you can drive at 100 km/h, you don't do it. Likewise, when there are rules like this, and you identify difficulties, you don't proceed exactly to the letter of the rule. And that's the question I'm asking you. Was this difficulty identified and was anything actually done about it?
