- Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (27 Jun 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: What is the Minister going to do about that? What are we to do about the young person who turned up for his test in the middle of the day two weeks ago and the tester refused to do the test because one of the tail-lights was not working? What are we to do with that same young fellow who, from that date, cannot apply for a retest until one month passes? What kind of rule is that? What...

Danny Healy-Rae: Every youngster deserves one chance. If he or she blots his or her copybook, I would accept it, but they are not being given a chance. The Minister does not understand what it is like to live in a remote place. If he was asked to live in a place like Glenmore, Lauragh or the Black Valley for three or four weeks and did not have a car, he would understand how hard it was and what it was...

- Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (27 Jun 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: When the Minister spoke at the beginning of the debate on this particular amendment he said that a young, unaccompanied driver, when stopped on the side of the road, will be taken out of his or her car and left there while the car is taken away. As I understand it, on a cold winter evening this young boy or girl will have to walk home. If that person is leaving a place such as Kenmare and...

Danny Healy-Rae: If a person is coming out of Kilorglin and is stopped and taken out of his or her car, how is that person going to get to Glencar, Cromane, Glenbeigh or Beaufort?
- Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (27 Jun 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: It is as I have said since this debate began. The Minister does not understand the places I am talking about. Each place is different. Each place is remote, and other places are more remote. I am entitled to point out, on the floor of the Dáil, and I will abide by the direction of the Leas-Cheann Comhairle, that each place is different. I represent each of those places. I represent...
- Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (27 Jun 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: It is a different kind of a road. I am talking about a national primary route. It is practically a motorway, and if a person is stopped on the side of that road that person's life will be in grave danger. A young person making his or her way home in the dark may not make it. It is a similar story for someone leaving Listowel for Knockanure, Tarbert or Ballylongford. If one looks at the...
