Value for money and a cost-benefit analysis are two different things. I understand that hi-vis materials are relatively cheap. Some €750,000 is not a great deal of money. Hi-vis is relatively cheap. We can go down the road and buy it in any shop. We can pick up a hi-vis vest. I am asking about the cost-benefit analysis. A lot of work goes work into putting hi-vis vests very often on young children, down to toddlers. What is the cost-benefit analysis in terms of what road safety outcomes are delivered by putting hi-vis material on the back of a four-year-old?
