Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Issues Relating to Road Safety: Road Safety Authority
Mr. Sam Waide:
I will answer that question at a high level while referring to particular areas. I ask the elected representatives on this committee to encourage not only their communities and their neighbouring communities but also employers within those communities to consider getting more involved in road safety and to work in that collective effort. The second area is for the committee to support any legislation coming forward on policies to optimise the use of technology to reduce killer behaviours across the country. The third area is to support sustainable funding for road safety in Ireland, not just the RSA: research, campaigns, education, enforcement and engineering, including the rural road network. I look forward to getting into more detail but, at a high level, those are three key areas that we as an organisation, leading a number of road safety initiatives, set out.
