Eddie Bohan (Fianna Fail)

I support Senator Leyden's request for a review of the smoking ban. I am not against the ban, neither are the people I represent, but the manner in which it is being implemented is causing much grief to the licensed trade.

We might also review the penalty points system, whereby it seems half the country, including me, when I was caught travelling at 54 mph in a 50 mph zone, is getting penalty points for exceeding the speed limit by 3 mph or 4 mph. It is ridiculous. The clamping of cars in Dublin city is also getting out of hand. Clampers are travelling the city, searching the back streets for cars.
