Shane McEntee (Meath, Fine Gael)

The question related to motorcyclists who consist of 1% of all our road users but 10% of all our road fatalities. Yesterday, in his presentation to the Joint Committee on Transport, Mr. Noel Brett, said it was part of policy to introduce centres where motorcyclists can be trained, which I welcome. However, I wish to ensure that happens quickly and I ask the Minister of State to try to fast track it. It should be a priority for Mr. Brett and his committee. Centres should be provided where motorcyclists can learn to ride motorbikes properly and car users can learn to drive properly.
