Verona Murphy: What is the cost of the roadside check? Where do we bring our testers from? For instance, do they come from Donegal if they are doing an inspection in Rosslare? Is there a strategic approach to keep costs down, such as by having vehicle testers in Rosslare who are from Wexford, etc.?

Verona Murphy: It is relevant to the Department more so, and the RSA. In relation to the bus drivers, it is pertinent that many parents are working and instead of a bus driver collecting their children from school - this is all to do with the tender process of Bus Éireann - they have their parents collecting them, many of whom are in their 80s. It is craziness. We need to be practical. We need to...
