Mr. Paul McCusker:

All members of the Pro-Social Drivers committee are also fairly senior members of other community organisations, and we have fairly significant networks in the youth sector, which would love this. The youth sector has tried restorative practice quite successfully. Our experience to date is that judges, gardaí and first responders are fully supportive in whatever capacity and would roll in behind us. This morning alone, Mr. Doggett's phone has been buzzing, as he is our media guru. People in the community will buy into it. They want to see every strategy used and every possible opportunity taken to stop the carnage. In the case that Deputy Mac Lochlainn mentioned, one of the five young people killed coming from a nightclub was buried in her graduation outfit. She had spent four years getting a degree and she was buried. All road accidents are so tragic and senseless and we must do anything we can to stop them, bar locking people up. Our aim is to stop them and to get young people and drivers to pause and reflect and give them a chance. It is making a difference and we hope that we will go up a level and it will make a wider difference.
