IN CONCEDING to the Irish Farmers Association that Ireland would veto an unacceptable agricultural deal in the current World Trade Organisation negotiations, Taoiseach Brian Cowen yesterday staunched a bleeding wound in the Government's referendum strategy on the Lisbon Treat.

Tackling road deaths

IT MAKES sound economic sense to invest in road safety. But the Government has not got the message. Ministers and their officials at the Departments of Finance and of Justice have yet to deliver on the introduction of speed cameras. And motorists continue to drive recklessly, resulting in high levels of mortality and injury. The economic cost in terms of lost production and health charges is enormous. The emotional, financial and social impact on the families concerned is dreadful.
