Seymour Crawford (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael)

There are regional roads capable of accommodating speeds of 100 km/h but on which the limit is 80 km/h. I am concerned by the introduction, from January next, of speed cameras operated by private contractors. The worry is that they may be installed on those types of roads purely for the purpose of collecting revenue. We have a responsibility as legislators to ensure lives are saved. That is more important than collecting fines.
