John McGahon (FG), Cultural and Educational Panel

I raise a serious incident that occurred in my home town of Dundalk a few days ago. It was spread widely on WhatsApp and is now on the front page of a local newspaper. An individual in a car was driving along the Castletown Road. Some 15 m or 20 m in front of him was a cyclist. The individual in the car, filming at the same time, said he was "heartless" and asked viewers to watch what he was about to do to the cyclist. He then pulled his steering wheel to the left and knocked the cyclist off the bike. It was a deliberate attempt on human life. He proceeded to drive down the Castletown Road in the direction of Castleblayney laughing throughout the video about what he had just done. Thank God the person in question was taken to-----
