I may take up the issue on Report Stage. I will ask the Garda and those in the industry how they feel about this but the history of regulation by the other bodies in the transport sector is highly discriminatory and unsatisfactory. The members of the Garda are the most trusted public servants in the country; all opinion polls show that. I will consider the issue for Report Stage but I do not see the case for removing the Garda from the sector. I will reserve my position until Report Stage.
