Geraldine Feeney (Fianna Fail)

Like other speakers, my mind was focused over the weekend on the terrible tragedy played out in Threemilehouse, County Monaghan. One wonders about the request for a debate on road safety because we have had umpteen debates on the issue. I was very taken by the words of Fr. Martin O'Reilly during the funerals of the two little cousins, as they were thought-provoking and laden with common sense. Perhaps Members are too gentle and politically correct when the House debates road safety. Young men aged between 17 and 30 years who are caught speeding should be put off the road and their cars impounded.
