Seanad: Road Traffic Bill 2024: Second Stage (21 Mar 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: ...I am not going fast enough. If I am in the middle of the road, they consider that it is their road and they are entitled to pass me out, putting me in danger. It is completely unacceptable and An Garda Síochána simply does not police it. I see gardaí drive past bad driving behaviour all the time. Cars that are parked on footpaths pull up so that cyclists have to swing...

Rebecca Moynihan: ...of people, some of whom knew exactly what they were doing and others who saw a chance to express their rage and isolation. However, there is a deeper crisis. It is a crisis in how we operate An Garda Síochána at every level. Strategy, morale, and community trust are all on the line. It is at tipping point.

Rebecca Moynihan: ...and asking them to go down to a particular centre. How is it proposed that the commission would handle that?

Rebecca Moynihan: ...to delivering it. Has the NTA ever asked for, or would it appreciate, devolved powers on traffic control with regard to people parking or driving in bus lanes, or people parking illegally? The Garda response can be less than great at the best of times. Is there anything that Ms Graham thinks could be devolved in that sense?

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Dec 2020)

Rebecca Moynihan: ...the issue of two tents occupied by homeless people being set on fire yesterday in Dublin city centre. I imagine everybody across the House will condemn this type of criminal behaviour. I hope the Garda will do all in its power to bring those perpetrators to justice.
