Pat Moylan (Fianna Fail)

I wish to be associated with those comments. This is one of the most important Bills to be brought to the House, particularly in view of the carnage on the roads. I thank the Minister of State and his officials. Perhaps he will consider an amendment if a suitable opportunity occurs in future.

I thank Senators who spoke on the Bill and I wish the chairman of the road safety authority and his board the best of luck. No matter what the road safety authority and the Minister do, they must have the support of the public and motorists who use the roads. We urge everybody to take greater care on the roads. It will be a happier country, with happier homes, if the loss of life is reduced. However, unreal numbers have lost their lives this year. I compliment the Minister of State and all associated with the Bill.
