Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Urban Area Speed Limits and Road Safety Strategy: Discussion
Mr. Sam Waide:
At the appropriate juncture, I would welcome coming back to the committee to share the conversations that will be had over the next couple of years and months.
This is not just about the here and now, but about ourselves, our children and future generations in 2030, 2040 and 2050. Technology is moving apace but there is a great opportunity for Ireland to lead on road safety, not just follow. Recently, a Spanish television channel came over to interview me because there was interest in what Ireland was doing on road safety. Our Celtic neighbour, Scotland, wants to find out what we are doing because everyone in Ireland is talking about road safety.
We have put in place an ambitious strategy. It is achievable, but it needs everything that we have discussed today and more.
