Gerry Horkan (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Before I call Deputy Smith, I want to commend the TY programme being rolled out. I am the chair of the board of Ardscoil Rís in Limerick, which was featured on "Today with Claire Byrne" some weeks ago. It is really impactful. I remember going to the access road shows in the Royal Marine Hotel in Dún Laoghaire where there were people in floods of tears. You do not want to upset people but if it means people are more careful driving, that is a level of upset that I would prefer people to have than to go to someone’s funeral or go to Rochestown Avenue to see people with life-changing injuries. I thank the RSA for all it is doing and ask that it engage with us as much as it feels it needs to. I believe all of the committee and, indeed, the wider Oireachtas want to support it in everything it is doing.
