Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Issues Relating to Road Safety: An Garda Síochána

Mr. Drew Harris:

It is not the only issue. I can provide that information. I am just a little wary of the figures because there could be an element of double accounting. It could be for having no NCT and no insurance. I would also highlight the significant concern we would have in respect of motorcycles. They do not have the equivalent of an NCT. Given the fatalities involving motorcyclists and the risks to motorcyclists, this quarter in particular of any year is always a dangerous time for motorcyclists. In effect, motorcycles re-emerge from the garage for the spring and summer months. It is a risky time. Those are vehicle that should also be subject to some regular testing as well.
