Joe O'Toole (Independent)

I offered odds of 17 to 15 against it ever doing that.

I was also Member of the House when the Road Traffic Bill was being debated and Fine Gael was in Opposition. When Fianna Fáil fell over the small fences and the Government changed without an election, Fine Gael, which had been opposed to the Bill, the points system and people having to carry their licence when driving, became a party of Government and brought in the legislation without change.
