Olivia Mitchell (Dublin South, Fine Gael)

The Minister is aware that road safety is very much in the news and we are currently debating the Driver Testing and Standards Authority Bill. It is on Second Stage in the House and it was revealed in the newspapers yesterday that a Government-commissioned report on the suitability of this agency actually recommends that it be abandoned as it is wholly inadequate and inappropriate to meet its wider road safety objective. What is the status of the Bill? Will it be withdrawn?
