Donie Cassidy is standing over his comments that Ireland should look at switching to driving on the opposite side of the road.
The leader of the Seanad has stood over his proposals on road safety.
During the order of business in the Seanad yesterday, the Fianna Fáil Senator and leader of the Seanad said Ireland should consider the move.
He also called for an 80km/h speed limit to be imposed on all foreign drivers.
He said this should apply particularly if the drivers are arriving from destinations where they are driving on the opposite side of the road.
'And maybe in time we should have a look here in Ireland at the possibility of changing and driving on the other side of the road.'
Speaking on RTÉ Radio's Morning Ireland, he said the proposals were aimed at stimulating the road safety debate.
