Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Road Safety Strategy: Discussion (Resumed)
9:00 am
Mr. Harry Lee:
To be honest, I do not know where the line is and that is an issue that will require further research and investigation. As we go forward with such research, the line will become more visible. If one takes the gentleman who is replacing the oil in his car, the question arises as to where the old oil goes. There are certain regulations in place for garages for changing oil, brake pads and so forth. There are garages that are doing good work and adhering to very high standards but they are up against others who are not. The introduction of a centralised logging system will raise standards for everyone. It needs to be centralised because if people are going to do work on their own vehicle, they should have somewhere to go to check if they are doing it correctly, according to protocols and processes.
