I can see from where Deputy Imelda Munster is coming, but if we were to go down this road, it would not even be possible to make a telephone call using a hands-free kit while driving because obviously one has to scroll to find a telephone number. For example, if a person was seen using a mobile phone while driving and he or she was stopped by a garda, would the garda have to check the phone to see whether the person was making a telephone call or texting? This would cause a big problem for An Garda Síochána.
