Members will have noticed during the week some figures that suggest the most dangerous road north of the Border is that which runs from the Border to Belfast. The most dangerous road south of the Border is in County Louth. Some weeks ago, Senator Brian Hayes made a proposal that the Minister should consider the unification of the penalty points systems, North and South. I ask the Leader to draw the Minister's attention to this. Having one penalty points system represents another area of co-operation that would bring benefit and save lives. The Minister would find ready acceptance of such a proposal north of the Border.
