Criminal Justice Bill 2004: Motion (Resumed). (29 Mar 2006)

Séamus Healy: As many other speakers have said, the Bill was introduced in 2004 and it is now 2006. It was introduced initially in a shortened form having regard to the number of amendments to it.

I take this opportunity...

Road Traffic (Mobile Telephony) Bill 2006: Second Stage (Resumed). (29 Mar 2006)

Séamus Healy: I support this worthwhile Bill introduced by Fine Gael. I understand the Minister is accepting the proposal. If so, it makes one wonder why he has not introduced such a proposal before now. That brings me to the wider question of road safety and why the Government has not tackled the problem effectively over a number of years. It is not rocket science. One need not reinvent the wheel to deal...
