I thank the witnesses for being here to discuss this important issue. I have some questions that each of the three sets of witnesses can come in on. The first is picking up on the issue of what has changed and why it has changed, which Professor Cusack touched on. There is a gendered element to this - it is younger men. Is there a piece in respect of how we use our roads post-Covid? I refer to vulnerable road users, pedestrians and cyclists. Is there anything in terms of substance use that has changed post-Covid? Is there anything that has changed in our mobile phone use, for example?

Professor Cusack made a point the last time and I did not hear him mention it today, but it stuck with me, and that is the fear of being caught as a deterrent. I do not know if he wants to touch on that point. It is relevant to An Garda Síochána and RSA strategies.

Finally, what legislative changes do the witnesses think need to happen as a matter of priority?

Perhaps we can start with the RSA because we have not heard from them yet.
