I echo the sentiments of my colleague, Deputy Harrington, on the tremendous work in reducing road fatalities, in particular on the part of the RSA, An Garda Síochána, the Department and local authorities.

I emphasise the importance of the continuation of the education and training of young drivers in particular and those who will soon learn to drive. I have seen and taken part in the road safety campaign for secondary schools that has taken place in The Helix on a number of occasions. It is a tremendous initiative, one that if we continue and bolster and perhaps make part of the syllabus within secondary schools would be very much welcomed in terms of addressing the ongoing battle to reduce road fatalities.
