Tomorrow or next week, because of a change introduced by the RSA, tractor drivers working on sites throughout the country will have to have lorry licences. This came up on a website on Tuesday night and it has caused consternation. It takes 14 months to get the two tests a person would need in order to comply with this. The Minister of State, Deputy Chambers, is aware of that and the Minister, Deputy Ryan, is aware of it. Will the Tánaiste get involved? Ministers are going abroad next week. Does the Tánaiste want to see housebuilding, utility works and road works coming to an end because 4,000 people will not be able to drive those tractors next week? There needs to be a bit of cop-on. Someone in the RSA went on a power drive of their own. The Minister and Minister of State did not even know about it when I contacted them. We have given them the information.

I thank the Deputy.

Will the Tánaiste get involved in this today to make sure before this week is out that this is reversed?

I thank the Deputy. The Tánaiste to respond.

Either that or there are 4,000 people out of work and that is a fact.

Too many cooks can spoil the broth in the sense that the Minister of State, Deputy Chambers, is aware of it and the Minister, Deputy Ryan, is aware of it. I will-----

You might be aware of it as well, but 4,000 people is a fair amount.

Deputy.

-----discuss the issue with them, but I have no doubt the Minister of State will examine this and will come up with a workable solution for people. The RSA is the Road Safety Authority, so it-----

I know what it is.

Sorry, I am answering you.

The Ministers should know what it is doing.

Deputy.

I am talking to you and making the point. Sometimes people listening in may not realise what the hell the RSA is. It is the Road Safety Authority. Everything the authority does is through the lens of safety. However, politically we have to-----

So the lens of safety-----

I am not finished, Deputy. Through that lens, then, the political world and the Executive must look at proposals to ensure there is balance and practicality and that there is a proper system there so something is not just bounced on people overnight, as you have said.
