Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

It is my intention that we would legislate. If we can do it this week, with agreement, we could do it. We will wait to see what the story is on that. However, it will be legislated on as quickly as possible.

In respect of the other matter, I am not sure whether that is the legislative change required under the Road Transport Act 1932. There is a wider policy issue in respect of the amendment of the Road Traffic Act 1932 which is part of the programme for Government. The specific issue would need to be taken up with the line Minister.
