Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Mar 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I foresee a difficulty with that. In my experience in the House, and the Minister has been a Member of the Oireachtas for longer than me, if the Opposition proposes an amendment the Minister is often advised that whereas the substance of the amendment is fine, its wording is flawed so the Minister must bring it back to the Parliamentary Counsel. Therefore, introducing an amendment from the...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Mar 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: With no disrespect, the Minister is missing my point. In my experience here, and the Minister has longer experience than me, often a good idea comes from the Opposition but, as the Minister has correctly pointed out, there might be a flaw in the wording. Often what happened was that on Committee Stage Ministers said they accepted that Deputies had very good ideas but that they were not sure...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Mar 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am on the record of this House over the years about the abuse of alcohol. It takes lives in many ways. It definitely takes lives on the roads but it also takes lives through illness. It makes a misery of other people's lives and all we have to do is go down the main street of our towns on the weekends to see what is happening, or go into the emergency departments of hospitals. I have...

If somebody is prone to not obeying the rules of the road, is careless about speed and...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Mar 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am not making a case for such persons. I ask that the Minister consider carefully the Fianna Fáil amendment which is balanced and reasonable.

Many complain...
