Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

In my former life as a member of the Labour parliamentary party, I tabled a number of amendments, which the Minister graciously accepted and I thank him for that. I also thank the civil servants for their tremendous hard work. This is intricate legislation, given the challenges that have been mounted against road traffic law over the years. I am grateful to all those who made submissions to the Labour Party on the Bill and, in particular, to Susan Gray of the PARC road safety group, which played a heroic role in getting us to bring forward the legislation on an all-party basis. The group has done great work for our country. I thank the Minister.
