Michael Finucane (Fine Gael)

Many rules and regulations are set out for the ordinary punters and Ministers should lead by example. If my car driven at in excess of 70 mph is determined to constitute a safety hazard to others, surely a ministerial car could also be determined as a safety hazard to other road users. Who determines the safety of the road users? Is it the garda who stops another garda driving a Minister's car, having to make an arbitrary decision? The Government should show leadership. I do not expect it to dramatically affect me in the future.
