Gay Byrne acknowledged a great number of people were upset by what the authority was trying to do but he urged people to "get rid of the hysteria".I love that "he warned".
While enforcement would be a matter for the gardai, the authority wanted to make the public aware of it and "they better get with it", he warned.
It might seem like a minor issue to Byrne, but to people up and down the country the fact that in 3 days time they might not be able to go to work or the store, drive their children around or visit their families is a big deal. They are not being hysterical when they vent their anger at this ham-fisted decision by the government.
Nor would they be out of line in seeking to put the arrogant Road Safety Authority Chairman back in his box.
