Disposal of Shares in Aer Lingus Group plc: Motion. (6 Jul 2006)

Seán Crowe: This is both an historic and a sad day. I have had telephone calls today from some very upset Aer Lingus workers. It is a disgrace that we were informed of the sell-off by means of a leak to the newspapers. The feelings of the workers were not taken into account, many of whom have given the best part of their lives to trying to make a successful airline of Aer Lingus. They have made many...

Disposal of Shares in Aer Lingus Group plc: Motion. (6 Jul 2006)

Seán Crowe: This privatisation will only work for the benefit of a few. The general travelling public and Aer Lingus workers will undoubtedly lose out. The country and the taxpayers who have invested in the company over the years will also lose out. Aer Lingus is the property of the Irish people and it should remain so. It is a profitable State asset, not a liability. It was valued this week at €1.1...

Road Traffic Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed). (5 Jul 2006)

Seán Crowe: I was tempted to state that there is not a pub in Ireland where people do not drink and drive. We have all heard the urban legend of those who are over the limit and feign injury after an accident. When the garda comes to take the alcohol test the person claims to have had a drink to settle their nerves in the hospital, house or wherever. There is a difficulty then because, supposedly, they...

Road Traffic Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed). (5 Jul 2006)

Seán Crowe: Everyone accepts there must be a requirement for people to sit the test. I sympathise with the amendment but I have difficulty with the words "failed to take reasonable steps". Deputy Shortall might expand on that. My experience is the opposite in terms of the people with whom I deal. Many young people want to take the test but cannot because of the backlog. As a public representative those...

Road Traffic Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Report Stage. (5 Jul 2006)

Seán Crowe: I move amendment No. 2: In page 3, line 21, after "2006" to insert the following: "/ Achtanna um Tráchtar Bhóithre 1961 go 2006 ". On the previous issue, there is a group that meets on fatalities, with two members of the NRA and six gardaí. It happens unofficially but I do not know how much it costs. The amendment seeks to insert the Irish language wording for Road Traffic Acts at that...

Road Traffic Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Report Stage. (5 Jul 2006)

Seán Crowe: I move amendment No. 3: In page 3, line 27, after "phone" to insert the following: "and any other electronic equipment or general apparatus which may negatively affect a driver's capacity to drive". The original Bill referred to mobile phones, but other electronic equipment is used in vehicles that can impair a driver's capacity to drive. Such equipment includes electric shavers, DVD players...

Road Traffic Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Report Stage. (5 Jul 2006)

Seán Crowe: I have no problem in withdrawing the amendment if the Minister is saying that he will examine the possibility of making regulations in this regard. The current situation is ridiculous. In some cases it is quite serious because people are following soaps on televisions in their cars while driving. It is crazy.

Road Traffic Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Report Stage. (5 Jul 2006)

Seán Crowe: I move amendment No. 4: In page 3, line 28, to delete "the" and substitute "An". This is a technical amendment and it makes sense. The Bill refers to "the Garda Síochána", whereas the title is "An Garda Síochána".
