That is better than I was expecting; I thank the Taoiseach for the response. I also thank him for agreeing to meet the physicians. The feasibility study is a very positive development.

Reducing the number of fatalities on our roads would be a sufficient reason for this system but I see my constituency colleague the Minister of State, Deputy Heydon across the Chamber and am minded that this is not just about roads. From a farming perspective, there are many trauma incidents with machinery on farms and also on building sites all across rural Ireland. Therefore it is not just confined to our roads. We need to get this system up and running as soon as possible. I urge the Taoiseach to move towards implementation as soon as the feasibility study is complete.
