Mr. Michael Nolan:

The average cost of these schemes would be in the range of €5 million to €8 million. We are short 100 schemes to meet our target in the road safety strategy. The cost of these 100 schemes would come to €500 million to €600 million, which is a considerable amount of money. It was an ambitious target, but such schemes bring many benefits. They are targeted, with 90% being on national secondary routes - low volume roads in peripheral areas with low density populations.
