Seanad debates

Wednesday, 5 February 2003

There has been much talk of a traffic corps, particularly in Dublin. I know resources are required but on recent trips to America I have been impressed by the use of older people – people even older than I – who have been brought back into the workforce. Gardaí who retired at 57 years or so could well be brought back into the force, perhaps as part of the traffic corps. The Minister could say that, if resources are a challenge, they could be overcome in other ways than the purely traditional. I welcome the debate and the Minister of State's attention. Even more so, I welcome the success of the last three months in the hope we can build on it in the years ahead.
