Healy-Rae reported for writing notes while driving

A television clip showing a Dáil deputy writing notes while driving has been passed on to the gardaí, the Road Safety Authority has confirmed.

A number of people contacted the RSA after seeing Michael Healy-Rae answering a call on his hands-free phone and writing on a notebook resting on the steering wheel.

The Kerry Independent TD was then heard to say to an interviewer that people are “not supposed to write and drive’’ and that there was some law against it.
