Road Traffic Bill scheduling

Summary

Deputy Broughan asked that the Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill be scheduled on its own so long-debated legislation could be finished quickly. The Taoiseach said it was for the Business Committee, but agreed further debate should probably be curtailed.

Is it possible to schedule the Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill on its own next week in order that the legislation, which has been debated for eight or nine hours, is dealt with expeditiously? I know of the Taoiseach's record of interest in road safety matters during his time as Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport.

That is a matter for the Business Committee but I do think one reaches a certain point at which the value of additional debate starts to run out. I hope the Business Committee will give consideration to invoking the necessary measures to allow that Bill to be brought to conclusion.
