Mr. Ger Hyland:

They are all carrying information now that they never carried before. In some cases, they are able to tell how far away from the hedge you are. They are heated and can be moved from inside the vehicle. Electrification and modification have added to the cost.

Some 50% of our deaths are on rural roads. I am not saying the hedgerows are causing 50% of the deaths, but they are certainly a contributory factor. Mr. Drennan wants to say something.
