Earlier, the Taoiseach referred to certain state-of-the-art legislation that is due to be brought forward. Is any impact analysis ever carried out into legislation before it is introduced? Under the Road Traffic Act 2014, drivers must ensure that they have up-to-date NCT certificates displayed on their vehicles. I have been contacted by many of the thousands of people throughout the country who cannot get appointments to have their cars tested and whose current certificates are out of date. If these people are stopped by the Garda, they will be given penalty points and will need to pay a fixed charge.

The Deputy should table a parliamentary question on the matter.

I have done so. I also sought a Topical Issue debate on the matter.

I think that is due to be taken today.

It is not because it was refused. I do not blame the Ceann Comhairle for that because a large number of matters are being submitted by Deputies.

The Deputy was given permission to raise another matter in recent days. He is not doing too badly.

I appreciate that and I wish the Ceann Comhairle a happy Christmas.

The Deputy should confine himself to the Order of Business.

Thousands of people who drive to work do not have valid NCT certificates.

That is grand, but we cannot deal with the matter on the Order of Business.

If they are stopped on three occasions and do not have valid certificates, they will be put off the road altogether.

I know, but we are not dealing with the matter on the Order of Business.

The impact of the relevant legislation must be taken into account.

Tá an ceart aige. The Deputy is right.

I call Deputy Grealish.

Can I get a freagra?

The Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport is reviewing the situation. He is aware of the matter, which has been raised by Deputy Butler and others in the recent past.

I hope he is reviewing the position. Many people are going to be in trouble.

The Minister is already reviewing legislation that was only just passed.
