I sat on the previous joint committee responsible for transport. Is the Garda Síochána in favour of other proposals? I am in favour of one proposal but it never got anywhere. The idea was that a speed limiter would be put in the car of young drivers. The limit could be set at 50 km/h or whatever. These devices can be installed in the same way as they are installed in trucks. I know because I come from a trucking background. Insurance could be given at the same price for everyone. Then, if the driver has a crash, it is his problem. Is the Garda Síochána in favour of that?
