Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

Senator Bannon seeks a debate on road safety and a greater Garda presence on the roads. He also mentioned a device that can discern the presence of a speed check from a distance of three miles. I did not know of this device, but it should not be allowed. Senator Bannon also called on the Minister for Health and Children to come to the House to address the issues in accident and emergency units. The Senator reported that doctors and nurses have to face war zones.

Senator Ross spoke about salmon drift netting, which is the subject of a motion in the names of the Independent Members. The Senator said that he would like to come to Killarney. I extend an invitation to him to come to the Fianna Fáil Ard-Fheis in Killarney.
