Camillus Glynn (Fianna Fail)

I agree with Senator Ulick Burke on the matter he raised. A number of questions arise from this terrible tragedy. Is a person purchasing a car asked if he or she has a full driving licence or insurance? I do not believe that is the case. A mechanically propelled vehicle in the hands of an incompetent person is a lethal weapon. Many questions need to be answered. I strongly support the call for a debate on this matter. There is a huge gap in the legislation which needs to be addressed. If provision exists in current legislation to deal with this issue but the law is not being implemented, then those not enforcing it should pay the penalty.
