Paul Gogarty (Dublin Mid West, Green Party)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following issue of national importance, namely, the need for the Ministers for Transport and Justice, Equality and Law Reform to tackle not just the waiting list for driving tests but the increasing incidence of sloppy driving, dangerous driving and drink driving in built up areas by a minority of motorists, Irish and overseas, who should not be let behind a steering wheel, and through the proper enforcement of the law, allied with the provision of the necessary resources to deal with the ongoing threat, to make our roads less dangerous and, ultimately, save lives.
