Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

Engagement with Chairperson Designate of the Medical Bureau of Road Safety

2:00 am

Mr. Seán Quigley:

Yes, and in this regard, I would like to acknowledge the support of the Department of Transport, the Minister and his officials in ensuring that we have the adequate financial resources and staffing. The staffing levels in the bureau have increased over the years. It started out as very small; it is now 52. We are in regular contact with the officials in the Department. There are ongoing discussions now about the funding for next year. All I can say is that we have never been left short. What is critical to this is that we have the ability to meet the demands from An Garda Síochána because gardaí are on the front line. So far, that has not been an issue for the bureau.
