Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

Road Safety: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Catharina Gunne:

We are doing collaborative work with the local authorities. There is a road safety officer in all of the local authorities. We have 31 in total. We have done great work in Mayo and the north-western region, and this week with Age Action Ireland. It is a two-pronged approach in utilising that older generation, focusing on outreach to them, but also utilising their influence. We will be in Cavan on 20 October and we have been in Kerry during the summer. We are there to support the local authorities. Our role is supportive. We have a representative from roads policing and the local division. There is a lot of advocacy work being done there and a concentration and combined approach to commit to road safety.
