Ms Moyagh Murdock:

We are meeting our colleagues in the Health and Safety Authority, HSA, with a view to setting up a blitz campaign which would look at all aspects of road safety and health and safety requirements. There is an obligation on an operator to report a serious injury or incident on the road involving either a death or serious injury to the HSA. Unfortunately, we do not believe that loop is always closed, so we will be looking at that area to ensure it is closed between the Road Safety Authority, the HSA and An Garda Síochána. Our checkpoints are multi-agency. Revenue is involved, which has its own objectives. It looks at diesel, VAT and tax. The Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection is also involved in terms of employment law. The checkpoints are multi-agency to ensure we get as much as possible from them.
