I'll say, Sharon, is that my thoughts are really with the victims in relation to this h h horrific crash.
Um, what happened was wrong, it shouldn't have happened.
And the question that we have as policymakers and politicians is how do we stop this from happening again?
I think we need to just dial down and tone down um the rhetoric a small bit in in relation to this.
I mean the fact of
Of the matter is I think the Minister for Justice is correct in what he said.
Um I would support him i in that.
I don't think it's good enough that Gardy have not had the ability heretofore to actually pursue people driving wrongly down the wrong side of of the motorway.
There is a huge issue with social media and with TikTok in in particular, who we saw
You know, effectively this morning have stuck two fingers up at the Eractus Media Committee in in declining to appear before it.
I think what we need to see in relation to this, and to go back to a point that Paula made r really well, is how do we stop this from happening again?
And how do we stop young men from falling into criminality, getting involved in these gangs?
Things, you know, I I'm a T D that represents some of the most deprived communities in the country and we have these sort sorts of i issues even and even at primary level.
And I think the fact that one of the people who um was killed in i in in the crash was in the care of the state, in my view, raises serious questions for Tusla.
It is.
And I also think that one of the issues that's there, Sharon, in relation to this is we've seen Gardee in the last decade or so, you know, with their own internal discipline pr process that in in many cases there's been a lack of discretion there.
So for example, if a Gardha was to give chase or if a Gardha was to even pursue someone on a scrambler, and if that person ends up inadvertently being knocked off
the scrambler, then the Garda is liable and we need to see more d discretion so that if a Garda has to give chase to somebody in a high powered BMW driving the wrong way on a motorway, then that Carda should have y you know, discretion to stop the car before it hits somebody else.
But I also think we need to look at the criminal justice system because one of the issues here with some of these youths is these people
are going in and out of Oberstown d and in in in many cases this Oberstown is where some of these people would have actually gotten to know one another.
