Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2022: Road Safety Authority

Mr. Brendan Walsh:

In relation to insurance and tax, as I said, it will happen once we get the service back to normal. We have already started the process of looking at what we can do. I agree with the Deputy but I am not sure of the legislative basis or how we could bring that to the public. We did it with motor tax in the past and it is certainly something we should be revisiting. At the end of the day, we need to ensure that we have proper roadworthy vehicles on our roads. If there are ways to incentivise customers to keep those vehicles maintained and up to a good spec, I believe that would be a significant step towards our vision zero.
