Seanad: Order of Business. (23 Mar 2005)

John Dardis: One of the irritations that arises in respect of road traffic and policing is the lack of consistency in terms of enforcing the law. People get away with offences in certain areas which they cannot get away with in others. Reference was made previously to the position vis-a-vis the Naas dual carriageway and, in particular, the stretch thereof from Naas to Clondalkin. There is a 60 km/h speed...

John Dardis: On the issue of trucks, people who travel regularly on the stretch of road to which I refer will be aware that a large number of trucks do not have rear number plates. How can gardaí detect anything in respect of these vehicles if they do not have any identification marks on them? We could possibly debate this issue. The single market in services could perhaps form part of a debate on the...

Seanad: Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy. (24 Mar 2005)

John Dardis: I recall when I entered the House with Senator Ó Foighil and I share Senator O'Toole's recollection of him moving backwards and forwards on the benches. My abiding recollection is of him speaking in Irish on a daily basis from the back bench. Former Senator Ó Foighil was singlehandedly responsible for bringing about the establishment of an córas aistriúcháin, the translation service that...

Seanad: Expressions of Sympathy on the Death of His Holiness, Pope John Paul II: Motion. (12 Apr 2005)

John Dardis: It is correct that we should pause to mourn the death of Pope John Paul II and to reflect on his life and the message it gave us. The high emotion that touched us all during his final great struggle for life, his death and his funeral has subsided since he was buried last Friday and, therefore, we now approach his life in a more reflective and detached way.
