I am not disputing that, but the Cathaoirleach told me to raise the point under this section. That is why I am doing it here.

If the criterion is that people are being killed or injured, why do we have parking offences? There is a ream of offences in the Road Traffic Act which are judged not on the basis of injury to people but on the basis of best practice for traffic management. I am making a point that I think is valid. I ask only that the Minister consider it. I am happy to leave it at that if the Minister is not interested.
