Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Engagement with Road Safety Authority
Mr. Sam Waide:
I thank the Deputy. I acknowledge that, and he is correct about that site. There were complications with that site. The RSA and myself are committed to identifying an alternative. There are a few other options in the area. I do not have the details in front of me but I am more than happy to provide details and engage with the committee and share with it where we are in that particular area. Similar to a few other locations throughout the country, like many public bodies we come upon frustrations, whether it is contractual, planning, or other local issues that stop the development of a site. Ultimately, I am here to deliver a service to the public that sets an acceptable standard and meets the service-level agreement. It is in the RSA's interest to try to progress that particular challenge to get the solution, albeit there is third-party providers involved. It is in our interest. I am here to deliver that service to those people and not just in that particular area but also across the whole country. I am happy to provide a detailed update to the Deputy and to the committee on that.
