I acknowledge the expertise of TII. It would be unfair to accuse it of politicising something. I have engaged with councils on this. To take the Knock to Collooney road, the N17 along the Atlantic corridor, or the N4 from Mullingar to Longford as examples, they have a very poor safety record. The outworking of that may have consequences. It is a matter for TII to respond on how reports are constructed and drafted. That is something for people to ask of it. There is no political involvement in how reports are drafted.
