Róisín Shortall (Dublin North West, Labour)

We are now into the fourth month of the year but we do not have a current road safety strategy, which sends out a very negative message about the Minister not taking the responsibility to ensure we have a current road safety strategy. It sends out the message that there is no political interest in this. From the messages he has been getting from the European Council about road safety, he knows he and the Government must give priority to this key area. However, we are in the second quarter of the year without a road safety strategy, and that is the responsibility of the Minister.
