I agree with the Minister of State on the use of technology. When I was canvassing for the Seanad, I was travelling in the Minister of State's area close to Birdhill and the Sat Nav sent me the wrong way. If I had been a taxi driver, I would have charged close to ¤15 extra in fares. I believe Senator Barrett is wrong to include this. Sat Nav can be a help but there has to be local knowledge because Sat Nav always sends the driver on the main road, not the shortest route.
