When does the Taoiseach envisage the Road Traffic (No. 2) Bill being brought before the House? My interest arises because it is only possible to impose a maximum sentence of six months for a hit-and-run offence and there is only a three hour window for gardaí to test a suspect. I know family members in a case in my constituency in which a young cyclist was tragically killed in a hit-and-run incident in 2011 and the driver had failed to stop. This is important legislation.
