Brian O'Shea (Waterford, Labour)

My concern in this area is the length of time it is taking. I take the point that four makes or models of truck are in operation. I would like to see this process moving forward more quickly. All the testing seems to be done in terms of routine operation. Do tests exist which could be done on the strength of roller bars under controlled situations in terms of accidents? The assurance I seek is that in spite of cutbacks, the optimum roll-over bars, seat belts or whatever the solution is to ensure to the greatest degree the safety of troops in transit will be provided immediately and that resources will not be a constraint.
