Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Engagement with Road Safety Authority
Mr. Sam Waide:
If I may, this is in the context of all employers struggling to attract and retain staff. The people who apply for those temporary roles do not just decide they want to be a driver tester. They have a genuine interest in contributing to road safety and the temporary arrangements are frustrating.
It is an employees' marketplace. If people have a choice of taking up a permanent role or a temporary role, that will make it challenging for bodies such as the RSA to attract and retain people, whether they are passionate about road safety or otherwise. It is a continual challenge and frustration.
