Tommy Broughan: Given that the Tánaiste did not include funding for this in the Estimates for 2008 for the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform, is his Department effectively acting as a roadblock regarding the implementation of speed cameras?

Road Safety. (13 Feb 2008)

Tommy Broughan: It was with amazement that I read media reports that the Government is considering abandoning plans for the roll-out of speed cameras because of the higher than anticipated cost of the programme. The road safety strategy is in a shambles and will be critically undermined by the Ministers for Justice, Equality and Law Reform and Transport if the roll-out of speed cameras does not proceed....

Order of Business (13 Feb 2008)

Tommy Broughan: I have two points to make on the road safety Bill. It was reported today that the Cabinet intends to scrap the roll-out of speed cameras at 600 locations. Will that be done on cost grounds? If so, is it not short-sighted given that the cost to the country of fatalities from tragic car crashes is estimated to have been approximately €700 million last year?

Order of Business (13 Feb 2008)

Tommy Broughan: As a brief follow-on to the point raised by my colleague, Deputy Tuffy, it is deliberate that the large north fringe, north of the Taoiseach's constituency, is not a strategic development zone because certain large developers were taken care of. Householders owe mortgages of more than €400,000 and are left in houses that are not repaired. One company, Killoe Developments, refuses to talk...

Tommy Broughan: Like the Taoiseach, I am a Manchester United fan and I hope the club has a very successful weekend marking a tragic anniversary in its famous history. It has had a close involvement with this country. Could we debate the latest Road Collision Factbook, which was published recently, given that the Minister for Transport was totally at sea in the House yesterday regarding the recent carnage on...
