I thank the Minister of State for his response. I know that testing is actually scheduled now for 27 and 28 December in Cavan. This has been brought to my attention. It has not happened before. The testers were not made aware of this and some of them had plans made for the Christmas period. They are just asking if communication from the RSA to the testers could be improved. It makes sense to have testing when young people are out of college and not at work and it might be possible to deal with quite a number of people who are waiting. That is a good idea, but it is just that the communication was very late.
