Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank Ms Murdock for her submission. I acknowledge the tremendous work that both the Road Safety Authority and the Garda Síochána are doing in making our roads safer for everybody.

It is unacceptable that so many drivers who are disqualified are on the roads. Sadly, more people have died on our roads this year compared with last year. That is also unacceptable. I fully support the initiatives the Garda Síochána and the Road Safety Authority are taking to make our roads safer.

The Oireachtas needs to provide legislation that will make the roads safer because one death is one too many.
