Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

We are the first Government to have a national safety strategy and most of the issues mentioned by Deputy Kenny in regard to training, young people receiving reports and gardaí visiting them all happen.

I will go back over what is taking place because the Government is not sitting back. We are introducing measures to reduce driver test waiting times and we have made a critical contribution to road safety and improved driving behaviour. Ministers have announced those schemes already. We are rolling out more penalty point offences from 1 April.
