Madam, - Like Kate Grennan (January 17th), I saw a garda driving and using his mobile phone at the same time - when passing through East Point Business Park last week. Indeed, I frequently witness this.
I suggest that Minister for Transport Martin Cullen, as part of his road safety strategy, supply all gardaí with bluetooth/hands-free devices. This would also help gardaí on bicycles, who can often be seen cycling with one hand on the handlebars, the other holding phone to ear. - Yours, etc,
