The Minister, Deputy Brennan, was asked when the book would be updated. He said he was very conscious of the fact that it needed to be updated, he had set up a review group and he expected that the consultative process he had established would report shortly and that the new handbook would be produced. That was two years ago and is another indication of complete disregard for this whole area. I have a copy of the Rules of the Road booklet that is on sale today from the Government Publications Office and available in all book shops. It is ten years old. It makes no reference at all to the considerable amount of road safety legislation which has been passed by this House in the meantime. Neither does it make any reference to metric speed limits.
