Vol. 112 No. 10

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Highways Patrol.

asked the Minister for Justice if he will consider establishing a mobile unit of the Garda to patrol the main highways in order to ensure the observance of the rule of the road by all sections of road users.

A number of cars are already employed on this duty in Dublin and surrounding areas. I shall consider the question of extending this arrangement to other areas.

Does the Minister agree with me that if we are to reduce to any extent the toll of the road a system on the lines that I have suggested should be introduced? I do not say that my suggestion is the ideal one.

I have already stated that cars are already employed on this duty.
