I join in the calls for a debate on road safety. A Drive Safe programme has been devised by a young person in County Galway. The Department of Education and Science has deemed to accept much of the programme, except for the question of driving tuition. The Department does not agree that this should be part of the course. This should be included. It has already been carried out in Carndonagh in County Donegal and Dunmore in County Galway. If driving tuition can be carried out there it can be done in a general programme.

I hope if we have a debate on road safety and this programme is implemented by the Department, the driving tuition section will be part of it.
