Road safety debate

Summary

Deputy Ahern condemned recent road-safety incidents and comments, arguing they showed a poor attitude to cyclists and road safety. He asked for an urgent debate, despite an interruption from Deputy Dooley.

Last week was a dark week for road safety in this country. A judge made derogatory comments about cyclists. A Government TD was convicted of speeding, going 190 km/h to a constituency event.

Comment on this

What does this say about this Government's attitude and our country's attitude to road safety? I am calling urgently for a debate on road safety in this House.
