Mr. Sam Waide:

It is consistent across the board in that we are increasing campaigns and messaging. We are also increasing education. Consistently we need to increase the enforcement of road policing, particularly in this scenario. We need to double up on all of the efforts, including enforcement.

It is not for the RSA or me to tell An Garda Síochána or the Commissioner how to operationalise increased enforcement, whether through Garda numbers or technology. We welcome the proposals. With regard to the particular proposal mentioned, we need to see how it will be implemented. By this, I mean the research and data that are there. We have discussed them today and with other committees. There is information on the days of the week, the hours of the day and weekends. There are known areas of concern. It is about gaining an assurance from An Garda Síochána that the resources are being utilised in the best way to prioritise what the data tells us.
