We would have four-year parliamentary terms if we used the Deputy's calculations and all sorts of other unpleasant problems would arise.

The Deputy went on to say that I have done nothing during the period in question. That is simply not true. We have been through this at the Joint Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport. The NTA carried out an extremely thorough survey in respect of this issue in the past year and has come up with some fairly startling conclusions, one of which is that the majority of the people want to ban rickshaws. How can the Deputy say that nothing has been done when we have had a public consultation that has produced serious conclusions? I ask that she examine those conclusions before she comes out with rash statements.
