Marc MacSharry: If I am going over the top on time, the Chairman can cut me off. Is that okay so the Chairman cannot put words in my mouth? He has been around for long enough so he knows the practice.

Marc MacSharry: I certainly do not need them from the Chairman. The Chairman's hair has gone grey but I am afraid mine has fallen out. There is a bit of wisdom there, too. If I have speaking time, I should be let speak.

Marc MacSharry: Let me move on. TRL is wasting money. The Department does not know what legislation is before the House. We have dealt with those issues. Is the RSA's local authority suggestion workable in terms of a local authority such as Sligo County Council saying it would like to legalise the scooters as part of a pilot in its area? That was said in the address. I am interested in that point.

I certainly ask that it be done sooner rather than later. Deputy Rock was told the date could be the end of this year but would more likely be early 2020. A formal recommendation would be made on whether to go with what is proposed,...
