All Members can articulate the reason it is continuing. One can instance car sales, roadside sales, back garden garages or anything one likes but the nub of the matter is that the problem still exists and something must be done about it because innocent people are losing their lives.

Without being racist, and Members must be factual in this Chamber, there appears to be a high incidence of non-nationals involved in accidents in proportion to their numbers. The percentages exist. While I am not trying to cast aspersions on anyone I believe that both those who come to Ireland and those who are indigenous must use the roads in a safe way that takes into account the safety both of themselves and of others. I seek an early debate on these issues.
