Is co-funding something that might be considered? There is a demand for this as I regularly encounter farmers who want to take cattle off the road, in everybody's interest. It is in their interest too, in terms of the labour intensity of being obliged to have two or three people out on the road rather than just one farmer bringing the cows in at mornings or evenings. This would mainly be their concern. From a practical point of view, if the Departments with responsibility for agriculture and transport could come together and meet the farmer part of the way, it would be a positive for everybody. Perhaps it is something that could be considered.

The other matter was road safety technology such as alcolocks, GPS monitoring and the diesel emissions devices.
