James Bannon (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael)

It gives me great satisfaction to speak to this motion in the full knowledge that one of its main objectives has been achieved. The Government has had a meeting of minds on the important issue of mandatory alcohol testing at accidents. I congratulate my colleague, Deputy Fergus O'Dowd. The country badly needs him to replace a tired and jaded Minister.
