Shane McEntee (Meath East, Fine Gael)

I will but I want to make that point. There is a mechanism in place for drug testing. Irish culture has changed completely. Drug abuse is rampant, but not among 18 and 19 year olds. It takes six or seven days for drugs to get out of the system. I do not wish to speak out of turn but it is crucial that an all-party group is set up by the Minister. It would save time for many people, including the Minister whom I have no doubt will do a good job. Road deaths is a major issue and they will continue to occur until we recognise the real problem.
