Paul McGrath (Westmeath, Fine Gael)

I am talking about safety and how some of the money that might be raised on the extra 5% could be spent, giving a suggestion from my own county on how that might be done. Perhaps the Minister might also examine, when he returns to his Department and talks to his senior Minister, the matter of driver testing. It is a laugh to think that we have almost 1 million people driving on provisional licences in this country. Will the Minister get his finger out and do something about this? He should try to get it moved forward and get the tests sorted out as quickly as he can. This really needs to happen as matters are in a bad way.
