Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

Senator Bohan supported Senator Leyden who, he must be aware, was not speaking from the point of view of the publican. Senator Bohan spoke from the publican's point of view as he has every right to do. He also mentioned thepenalty points system, clamping and the NCT, as examples of over-regulation of citizens. He is right but people talk about the "nanny State". I do not know where the term originated but one must be governed in some way.
