Like the Taoiseach, I am a Manchester United fan and I hope the club has a very successful weekend marking a tragic anniversary in its famous history. It has had a close involvement with this country.

Could we debate the latest Road Collision Factbook, which was published recently, given that the Minister for Transport was totally at sea in the House yesterday regarding the recent carnage on the roads? The chairperson of the Road Safety Authority, Mr. Gay Byrne, has threatened to resign if the Government does not take action on speeding by deploying speed cameras and so on. This looks like becoming another fiasco involving Deputy Noel Dempsey following the e-voting issue and others.
