Seanad debates

Wednesday, 2 July 2003

I agree with all that has been said about the horrific deaths on our roads. The problem is not likely to be solved by a debate but there are things the Government can do immediately, one of which was raised recently in this House. Penalty points, north and south of the Border, should be amalgamated. The road between Belfast and Dublin is one of the most horrific for deaths but penalty points in the North only apply there and those in the South only apply here. I read in the newspapers that the Minister may be able to do something about this and that talks were taking place in order that penalty points would apply in all of Ireland.
