I will start off with the Irish Road Victims' Association. I thank its representatives for appearing before the committee today. I was deeply moved to hear the families' stories. To lose a family member as a result of a traffic accident must be traumatic, but to lose them as a result of drink-driving or dangerous driving must be heartbreaking. I understand completely the families' frustration and I will, as they will, continue to fight for continued resources for the Garda. I would like to show the families my complete support and I look forward to working with them in the future to ensure our roads are a safer place for all. What measures would the families like to see implemented immediately that would make the roads a safer place?
