I note the Tánaiste's clarification of the promise of legislation made by the Minister of State at the Department of Transport. His senior Minister has also made a statement that he will introduce legislation by the end of the year to establish the road safety authority. Following the meeting with the Taoiseach and his Minister of State yesterday, will the provision be contained within the roads (miscellaneous provisions) Bill? The road safety authority has been promised and the Minister has stated he will have the legislation by the end of the year. Can the House believe this statement?
