Mr. Sam Waide:

There are two aspects on which I want to answer regarding to the concerns and observations of Senator Buttimer. He mentioned transport related work. There is a cross-agency group that reviews speeds. This includes councils, Transport Infrastructure Ireland, An Garda Síochána and the RSA. I can feed the concerns, issues and comments of Senator Buttimer into this particular group. I would also add in terms of locations that the matters can be shared with An Garda Síochána and I will commit to doing so. The particular contract is coming up for renewal. The Senator's comments are very useful and his contribution is welcome. This goes not only for committee members but also for local representatives. When they feed in their comments, we can collectively prioritise where the speed monitoring vans are located in future.
