Camillus Glynn (Fianna Fail)

I request the Leader to arrange for a debate on road safety and noise pollution as early as possible in the next session. I heard a locally-elected representative complain about boy racers on a midlands radio programme today. We do not want to be killjoys. I have raised this matter previously and a journalist has contacted me about it.

These young people drive cars in some cases with the silencer removed. Ramps do not pose a problem for them as they have removed the ramps. Elderly people and young parents who are trying to get their young children to sleep find such activity intolerable. There is also a safety aspect to be considered. Something must be done about it. I request a debate on this matter as early as possible in the next session.
