Feargal Quinn (Independent)

I thank the Minister for the interest he has shown in this matter and particularly for the answer he has just given to Senator Ryan that, while no promises are being made, he will reconsider the matter. I also ask him to consider the points made by Senator Donohoe and I on the other amendments tabled. The Minister has been very successful in recent years in reducing the number of road deaths and this is another step in that direction, for which I congratulate him. As I am not sure he will be in the House again, given that he has announced his intention not to run for election again, I take the opportunity to wish him every success in the future.
