I thank the various delegations that attended this committee meeting and I thank members for staying so long. It was a worthwhile meeting. The committee will draw up a report for next week’s meeting as the Minister is anxious for it.
We all have a responsibility to ensure road fatality figures keep going down. It is of concern to hear Mr. Noel Brett say he is worried there will be a rise in the figures next year. It is one of the benefits of this committee’s work that it is trying to reduce road fatality figures. I thank the various agencies for their input and work here this morning.
