Will the Minister liaise with the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Shatter, on the road safety strategy? It is clear there will be a reduction in Garda numbers and speed checks are carried out by the Garda in addition to those that are done privately. Will the traffic corps be maintained at its current level?

I carried out an analysis on the number of speed cameras and discovered that the one hot-spot in the country in which one would be more likely to get penalty points for speeding was between the Red Cow roundabout and the Kildare county boundary where the road, which is segregated, has three lanes. Perhaps the distribution of cameras could be examined as well.
