Road Traffic Bill 2024: Second Stage
Dail Éireann — 2024-02-13
============================================================

John Lahart (FF), Dublin South-West

So we are not talking about the speed limits in Dublin being reduced to 30 km/h universally. The Minister of State might elaborate on what he has in mind there.
The drugs measures, drink driving and penalty points have been mentioned. I did not mention them but I support them and there is no point in repeating them. The public wants more police in cars with cameras on secondary and major roads. They see the lack of that as a major contribution to the increase in fatalities. This worthwhile Bill will not work as effectively as the Minister of State wants it to without personnel on the ground.
