I appreciate some of the clarification provided. Perhaps it was unfair of me to ask about the cost of the service when it was not in the original question. Should I redirect my queries to the RSA? In terms of the fraud concerning driving licences, I imagine that is something on which the Department has figures. I appreciate entirely that the RSA was the contracting authority and therefore set out the tender. The Minister of State should forgive me for not understanding whose role it is. It is not clear whether it is the Department’s role or the role of the RSA to proof such tenders for rural travellers. The Minister of State knows how far it is from Kinlough to Carrick-on-Shannon or even to Sligo. It is quite a distance. If one lives in Glenties in Donegal one would also have to travel quite a distance. Such people are not catered for in the current system. I wonder what we can say to those people.
