Mary White (Fianna Fail)

I call on the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to urgently explain to the House why speed limits are not being obeyed throughout the country. Last week I drove to Athlone to give a speech on women in business. All the way there, I saw that every speed limit was broken, including those in the towns and villages I passed through. We are a laughing stock. Every weekend people are being killed on the roads yet there is no outcry. Why is there no protest about the innocent people being killed due to lack of implementation of traffic laws by the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform and the Garda?
