Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Urban Area Speed Limits and Road Safety Strategy: Discussion

Ms Muireann O'Dea:

With regard to gender, we know that women do not get enough physical activity compared with men. Men tend to get more physical activity in their day-to-day lives. We see the figures for girls cycling to school. The numbers are very low. There are one in 250 girls cycling to school. There is something going wrong there. We have to create a safer environment. Safety is what is holding women back.
