    Its a combination of 2 things.
    1. The Irish "Tell me I can't or shouldn't and I'll show you", I mean just look at the attitude to driving/cycling behaviour on our roads. Red = 2 more cars, pedestrian light = don't tell a cyclist he can't cycle through when people are crossing.
    2. Entitlement. People who go live in a remote area, then complain about how the law is preventing their children getting to work/college/etc. Well if you want public transport, go live in a town or city. Don't go live in a rural part, knowing full well your children will need to be driven around the place, and then whinge about a lack of facilities. Just like broadband. You would think broadband was a human right the way people go on. If you want fibre, go live in a town, don't move to bally go backwards and then complain about it.

    Agree with your first point.
    BUT

    Why the hell shouldn't be a great broadband for everyone or a level of facilities. I suppose all in the country should be happy with fire and a cave to live. Those damn rural people wanting stuff

    I don't want to take the thread off topic, but my point was that people live/move to a rural part and then complain about laws, facilities, etc which people knew full well were there before they ever decided to live there.
    When the laws regarding provisional license driving is enforced, like it is some form of attack on rural people. Sure why don't we let 10 year olds drive themselves to school if that is the case?
    It is a disgrace that any parent would let a 17 year old out in charge of a car knowing full well that they could kill somebody, let alone the fact that they are uninsured.
    And try telling Mr Clancy that it is unfair that somebody on a provisional license should be allowed drive. It is all fine and dandy until people are killed.
