Where were they? They are allowed to do what they like and at the same time no young lad in Kerry can get a driving test. Does the Government want to keep them off the road as well? There are 23,000 vehicle movements every day on the Killarney route I am talking about. Their safety is being compromised. He kicked up a big hullabaloo the other day saying he was going reduce speed limits and do this and that. What really needs to be done because the volume of traffic has increased is to bring the roads up to standard and the sooner the Government realises that the better. There are junctions on this stretch of road that have caused fatalities. I ask the Government to look at it seriously and if it is serious about looking after the people of Kerry, I want an investigation into what happened with Shannon LNG and I want the Killarney bypass to be progressed.
