I ask the Leader to ask the Minister for Transport, Deputy Brennan, to come to the House for a debate on Saturday's horrific accident. There should be a co-ordinated plan for traffic management incorporating South Dublin County Council, Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, Fingal County Council and Dublin City Council and including input from the Minister. This is a serious matter which has not been dealt with in the past despite calls to do so. It is a matter of road safety. Everybody knows that many of the out of service buses speed along the road when they do not have to stop at bus stops. This aspect must also be examined, in addition to the problem of speeding and the ramp system. It is time we had traffic calming measures and traffic management. I ask the Leader to have a debate on this matter.
