Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Joint Sitting with the Joint Comittee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Pro-Social Drivers Programme: Pro-Social Ireland

11:00 am

Mr. Martin McFadden:

The programme is very adaptable and would work as a preventative measure or to brush up people's skills. At the moment the course is taken as a consequence of the participants' behaviour, so it is based on experiential learning. They have touched the wet paint, so it is real to them, whereas if one delivers a programme to a pupil in transition year they think it is never going to happen to them. The programme is good because we have people's engagement. They have to be there, but when they buy into it, as they have done, it is always a bonus.
