We can certainly consider that. Perhaps they could identify the need to the local council first. Obviously, this is a new idea; it is a good idea. I am not qualified to say whether it would work, what it would cost or the like, but it appears to be fresh idea. We will consider it without hesitation.

On the road safety issues, apparently the Department, through the RSA, is working at EU level to develop and study how information technology can assist safety. The Department is working in parallel with its counterparts in the EU, so that is already happening. The answer on alcolocks is "Yes". Diesel filters and emissions are primarily a consumer protection and environmental matter rather than a road safety issue, but we can pass it on to the bodies concerned from the transport committee.
