I thank the Minister of State and I thank the officials in the Department for taking the trouble to put together a very good reply. I have read the RSA's detailed set of guidelines. However, I ask the Minister of State to convey my concerns to the Minister. Even though I agree with the response, the reality is that a person could this morning drive a modified car. I suggest that instead of retesting these drivers they could be required to take ten lessons. The Irish Wheelchair Association has specialist trainers. I would be a lot happier if such training was mandatory. The rules are somewhat soft because a person could drive straight away. I question the safety aspect.
