Road Traffic Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2024-04-11
============================================================

Gerry Horkan (CC), Industrial and Commercial Panel

To conclude again on this, it is a very important topic. I thank the Minister of State and his officials for their personal commitment to it. Let us make sure and hope that what we pass here and what has already been passed in the Dáil makes a difference for the many affected families and prevents others from being affected. Technology has a big part to play in the longer term. Everybody’s car is capable of being tracked, everybody’s phone is tracking them, we know what speed everybody is going at and so on. If people knew that every bit of behaviour was being tracked, perhaps some of them would behave a bit better, as other Senators outlined. I thank everybody for their co-operation. I thank the Minister of State again.
