-----of the victims who were in the Gallery. Between 25,000 and 30,000 families have been profoundly affected by road crashes in the past ten years. I am glad to hear that the Ceann Comhairle and the Business Committee have taken an initiative to ensure that we can have a speedy debate. We could have dealt with this Bill and had more time for other activities and other parts of the Government's agenda today.

I welcome the Bill in front of us and I will support it. Although I am not a member of the Oireachtas Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, I hope to raise a couple of issues on Report Stage.
