Ms Liz O'Donnell:

I look forward to ongoing engagement with the members of this transport committee, as Deputies and Senators have a great deal to offer to the RSA and the overall project of road safety because of local knowledge. With regard to engineering issues, the National Roads Authority, NRA, is responsible for major road networks but there is ongoing engagement with local authorities. Speed limits and the quality of roads at local authority level is a matter for those authorities. Although there is some engagement and collaboration as I understand it, I do not have authority over the state of local roads. Of course, it is an important issue.
