Senator Quinn's suggestion that retired members of the Garda should form a traffic corps is excellent and I am glad to see the Minister took note of it. In the past few days we have listened to discussions about the Army being used as an aid to the civil power. I would also like to investigate the possibility of establishing a Garda reserve or auxiliary part-time force. This works in other countries and why would it not work here?

With regard to the Taoiseach speeding and journalists not being able to keep up with his car, I am sorry we are not all as saintly as journalists, who never seem to be caught doing anything wrong. I do not condone speeding but I wonder if journalists ever break the law.
