Mr. Brendan Walsh:

As I mentioned, use of our slot levels is currently at 98%, which is a very high level and is up from where it was several years ago, which was a percentage in the mid-90s. We also have additional driving testers. There is also now a facility whereby customer can select a test centre. They can pick a test centre with a shorter waiting time if they so desire. That is what we are doing. To be honest, the way to deal with this is to employ more testers and we are working with our colleagues in the Department to do that.
