Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Road Safety Strategy: Discussion (Resumed)

11:00 am

Mr. Michael Finn:

That is certainly not our remit. Our raison d'être, is to get compliance through enforcement not to criminalise people. Success for me is when I have to disband the traffic corps because we have changed the culture but until we get to that point, we certainly have to be out enforcing the legislation.

We do not want to criminalise people. We want to get people to comply. If we can educate and help them and change the culture, it will be a win for society because we will have fewer victims, accidents and collisions.
