David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael)

Could the Minister and his Department liaise with local authorities to get some of these damaged roads repaired? Does the Minister realise the anger and frustration experienced by motorists when they damage their cars badly? No matter what speed one drives at, if one drives into one of these craters one will do serious damage to an expensive vehicle, and perhaps cause danger and injury to pedestrians and others. Will the Minister take some responsibility, and agree that there is a national problem throughout the country that needs to be addressed? He must stop passing the buck.
