I thank and applaud the members of the Garda National Roads Policing Bureau for the work they do every day. My questions were not a criticism. To be fair to members of An Garda Síochána, during Covid they were out on the checkpoints doing a job that many people did not want them to be there for. We should thank them today. I have, unfortunately, had to meet members of An Garda Síochána at accidents. Their professionalism and humanity, even though they have a very difficult job, is to be commended. We should dwell on Deputy Lowry's point. I wish to bring back Professor Cusack, in terms of the Sláinte agus Tiomáint report. It will be interesting. I thank the RSA for its work. We are all committed to the elimination of fatalities and to improving our behaviour on the roads.
