I respect the protection given to me by the Cathaoirleach. Senator Brennan spoke about small rural roads and speed limits. I agree with him that one can drive along motorways where in areas there are 60 km/h speed limits but one can leave these and go onto a small country road where two cars can barely pass and where the speed limit is 80 km/h. I understand a review of speed limits is already under way. Members have been asked to submit proposals and outline where problems lie.

Senator Wilson mentioned the Defence Forces and the Reserve Defence Forces and I will try to find the information. Fianna Fáil is indulging in making rumours in this regard-----
