The National Standards Authority of Ireland in its regulations has imposed major costs on the commercial vehicle body building sector. As a result, some firms have paid €20,000 to receive the appropriate certification. Having achieved it, they are unable to have the certificates passed by the National Standards Authority of Ireland to sell a vehicle and have it registered. I ask the Taoiseach to allow time in the House to debate the issue because it is affecting small firms all over the country. They have appealed to the Department and the National Standards Authority of Ireland. It has become a major issue since October, but nothing has been done about it. I ask for immediate action to protect the industry and the jobs it provides.
