John Dardis (Progressive Democrats)

It will only take a few vehicles stopping on a high quality, fast motorway because they have run out of fuel for a serious accident to occur. Then we will clamour in this House for a solution to be found to the problem. The solution should be found now before something like that happens. I recommend to the Leader that we have a debate on the role of the National Roads Authority and on roads policy generally.

I congratulate Professor Drumm on his appointment as chief executive of the Health Service Executive and I hope reforms will lead to the world-class service that we all aspire to and deserve.
