Catherine Murphy: Given the commission's staff complement, there may well be a need for overtime. It might be discouraged, but there is a large body of work that needs to get done. In this case, the Commissioners did not seek legal advice or require sanction from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. Is there any threshold beyond which sanction is required? Sanction is required for new staff....

Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (27 Jun 2018)

Catherine Murphy: I will be brief. On Deputy Fitzmaurice's suggested amendment, there is merit in the points he made about the length of waiting time for driving tests.
