I will answer the Deputy directly. As she knows, we had a meeting earlier at which I made it very clear to members that it was not possible to grant what they had requested. One request was on the question of drones and the second was on the use of scooters and inviting the representatives of the Road Safety Authority and Garda to discuss the matter. Questions also arose in respect of the attendance of others whose presence was requested. Deputy Catherine Murphy is quite right that if this were not on the agenda today, there would be no meeting at all, other than a meeting in order to adjourn. I am very happy, notwithstanding the Deputy’s views, that the meeting is taking place. I reject her comment that this matter is not important.
