Frances Fitzgerald (Fine Gael)

I want to return to a question I raised last week, because it was not answered by the Leader. I asked why a crucial part of the national roads strategy campaign was not being implemented, namely, the speed cameras. It seems from a report by Tim O'Brien in today's The Irish Times that apparently the Government had shelved its plans to roll out a countrywide network. I raise this issue because Mr. Gay Byrne, the chairman of the Road Safety Authority said he had been passed from three different Departments and did not get an answer. He said he would do what he had indicated originally and possibly resign if he was not treated in a better manner. I asked the Leader this question the other day. He did not answer it but talked a good deal about driving on the right hand side of the road and having different rules for foreigners, a suggestion bordering on the illegal. That could not be implemented. What is the Leader's understanding of the position as regards speed cameras, and what is the reply to Gay Byrne?
