If someone else has something to say about it, let him or her say it. That is what I am saying.

Provisional drivers have a serious problem because they cannot get to their apprenticeships or go to college. I ask the Taoiseach to reduce the age from 17, where the youngster gets a provisional licence, to 16 years of age. This is the case in many other countries. They can be restricted to driving during daylight hours until they get a full licence, if they are given the provisional licence at 16 years of age. It would help these youngsters everywhere in a real way if he can could do that.
