Generally, our road safety figures, in the context of fatalities, are greatly down on what they used to be and our motorway network is probably the safest part of our overall road network. Every life saved and every injury prevented, however, is a positive and therefore I ask Mr. Llewellyn to encourage that aspect.

Transdev Ireland operates the Luas on behalf of TII, which absorbed the Railway Procurement Agency. Does TII have much interaction with Transdev to address antisocial behaviour on Luas carriages? It is relatively limited, but it attracts much attention when it happens and tends to frighten people. When we are asking people to make a modal shift to public transport, we want it to be safe. In the context of Mr. Llewellyn’s role, what scope is there for him to ensure that antisocial behaviour on the trains can be eliminated or at least reduced as much as possible?
