I reiterate the request that I made to our guests from An Garda Síochána. Could they provide the committee with the number of fixed-charge notices and tickets for parking in cycle lanes that have been issued over the past couple of years and the number of cyclists truck by vehicles over the past couple of years as well? I would like their records on that.
Could Professor Cusack and RSA continuously update us on that incidents, accidents and injuries monitoring data that they are carrying out? Those are the indicators that we need. In addition, can the RSA report to us on any barriers on implementing on 30 km/h zones that it proposes.? I know it is its action No. 6. I would like to know any barriers the RSA is coming across on that.

I urge the members of the Garda throughout the towns and villages not to tolerate the bad parking and driving behaviour. People respect the Garda and listen to its members. They take note when they see that happening. I thank them for their work.
