Dessie Ellis (Dublin North West, Sinn Fein)

I agree with the Minister. It is important that we improve teaching in this area in schools. I note, too, we have a fairly good record in road safety. In 2009, an OECD report on road deaths and risks in Ireland showed fewer deaths per capita, per vehicle and per billion vehicular kilometre than in Finland. I know we can improve but if we are beating Finland we must be doing something right.
