The Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, was before the committee some weeks ago. I made a suggestion, as did other members, relating to the filling of positions and vacancies on the board of the Road Safety Authority. A suggestion was made that a group such as the IRVA would be well equipped and could have a positive impact. The association could make an input in terms of the workings of the RSA. The Minister said it was something he was going to consider. He said he would look at filling board positions within the RSA. Have any approaches been made to the IRVA in respect of becoming a nominating body for the board of the RSA?
