Shane McEntee (Meath East, Fine Gael)

For €60, three people can get drunk, and take drugs and then they drive cars. Last week, the former Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Deputy Brian Lenihan, spoke about introducing measures to curb the boy racers who are putting people at risk in the middle of the night. Will the Minister for Transport consider three measures to add to the RSA's strategy, namely, giving the Garda full authority to pursue those who abuse the rules of the road, removing VRT in respect of publicans and people who provide services for social inclusion and funding on a national basis the position of county road safety officer? Our county has appointed a road safety officer but no funds have been made available. We cannot merely create these positions as a public relations exercise.
