Mr. John Wilson:

Mobile telephone use is horrendous. I counted 17 drivers one day, including a lorry driver, using a mobile telephone. A driver cannot concentrate on driving and using a mobile telephone, I do not care what class of a genius the driver is. There is an epidemic of mobile telephone use.

Ms Price alluded to speeding. Despite the GoSafe vans and the fantastic work of the Garda traffic corps throughout the country, it still is a major problem. I believe the penalties are not severe enough.
