Mr. Michael Rowland:

I would like to make one point with regard to something Dr. D'Arcy said and also Deputy Hourigan. In regard to hi-vis, our preference would be that we would not have to distribute hi-vis. That will happen once we reduce speed limits and we have safer streets. In the meantime, we are left with no choice but to ensure that our children are safe on the roads and that is the reason we distribute hi-vis jackets.

Part of our function as the Road Safety Authority is to make people aware and to educate people. As a result of that, our annual conference later this year in December will deal with the issue of speeding. We are bringing in some international experts, including Rod King, who is an expert on 20 km/h. He was instrumental in its delivery in the UK. We will let the committee know about that closer to the time.
