Brian Leddin (Limerick City, Green Party) | Oireachtas source

I agree with the Minister that we have to get the balance right and have to respect personal privacy. However, I think we all agree that some of the behaviours we see on our roads are quite terrible. Just last week, I was nearly killed on the quays in Dublin. We come across these near misses every time we walk, cycle or even drive. In getting that balance right, we need to understand just how bad behaviour actually is on our roads. There are so many near misses and people do not get home safely or alive. We seriously need to look at this. This is a huge opportunity for this Oireachtas to take a brave step forward. Of course we need to understand the privacy concerns but we should be true to those people who have been injured or killed on our roads because of endemic bad behaviour over the years. There is an opportunity to do that in this legislation and we should look at it more closely. I would be happy for the Minister to come back with proposals on Report Stage.
