Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Road Safety Strategy 2021-30: Discussion

Professor Denis Cusack:

As the Chairman will be aware, European Union directives and regulations are applied at a certain date, and then each country has quite a number of years to actually implement them. It is then retrospective. For the new fleet of cars we may be looking at ten or 15 years, but we are getting there. The National Office for Traffic Medicine has set up its own working group to look at it medically. We have worked with the RSA on this and there has been progress on action No. 23 for alcolocks. Again, perhaps this is something the legislators can help us with positively over the next year or two.
