Brendan Ryan (Labour)

There are many questions to be asked. Speed limits are not absolutes. They are the maximum permissible speed, but not the speed at which it is always safe to drive. Drivers must remember that they are not allowed to drive at 120 km/h on a fog-bound motorway. They do not have a legal right to drive at that speed in those conditions, and if they do so, they can and should be prosecuted for driving dangerously. I wish to extend my sympathies to those who were injured in the road accidents earlier today.

It is a disgrace when the Minister for Health and Children brands a group of nurses as being motivated by greed.
