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

Mr. Gary Doggett:

We had a conversation some time ago with businesses in the community about strategies for moving forward. Insurance is one of the two of the areas in which we have thought about this. We have already discussed the possibility of young people who come on the course beforehand getting a reduced premium for taking part in the course. That would seem to be a no-brainer. We were also looking at the possibility that larger corporations might be interested in the emotional control module, which provides half a day of training for staff in the area of emotional control. It is particularly difficult to drive in the city. It is a highly charged emotional experience nowadays. It is another area we have been considering. As Mr. McCusker said, there is some uncertainty in this regard. When we have some form of certainty, we can explore these possibilities in more depth.
