Good.

Senators Humphreys, Lombard and Kieran O'Donnell raised the important issue of climate change. I am happy to review and reflect on the remarks made about the recent statements in the House on climate change. I would be happy to meet Senator Humphreys and the group leaders in the new year to discuss that issue.

I join Senator Humphreys in appealing to all motorists on the road this year not to drink and drive. I ask that we ensure we have safe passage on the roads for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists. I appeal to everybody during the course of this Christmas season to drive with care and consideration and not to engage in drink driving.

With regard to the other transport matters, I am sure our fine Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, will take notice of the Senator's remarks on his car going around a particular part of the Minister's constituency.

We need to introduce penalty points for bad stunts.

The Senator has made his contribution.

There were enough bad stunts here this morning and last night to earn people a lot of penalty points.

To respond to Senator James Reilly and with regard to the greenway, we commend all those involved. We will have a debate on greenway tourism.

Senators Leyden, Feighan and other Members raised the issue of the events in Roscommon last weekend-----

Senator McDowell raised the issue also.

As did Senator McDowell, gabh mo leithscéal. I do not want people to draw any inference or insinuate anything from my comments. On the Order of Business yesterday and on Tuesday, I made the point in respect of the events in Roscommon that we must always ensure the rule of law was upheld. We heard this morning about an incident at the family court where a judge was imprisoned in his chambers. We must always ensure this behaviour is never supported and that we protect and preserve the integrity of the institutions of the State, whether it is the courts or the-----

The judge involved is a woman.

Incidentally, it was a female judge who was also assaulted in Dolphin House family law court.

I am sorry but I was not aware. That makes it even more alarming. On behalf of the Government and as the Leader of the House, I support the independence of the Judiciary and Garda. There can only be one An Garda Síochána, one Army and one courts system. We should always remember that. Irrespective of whether we like it, thuggery happened in the Roscommon incident. I reiterate my point that nobody wants people to be evicted or lose their family property or home. There must be engagement by all sides. All of us condemn violence and thuggery and, as Senator Leyden has said, gardaí are placed in unhelpful and dangerous situations because of the work they do. We must always support them. I welcome the visit of the Garda Commissioner to Roscommon and thank him for what he has done.
