I also wrote to the Ms Moyadh Murdoch in the Road Safety Authority to express my concern about the format of the advertisement that is being carried on the airwaves. The alarm bells were ringing even prior to it being shown on television. During the week prior to Christmas a news item on "Crimecall" portrayed what was coming down the road on the issue as being of a personalised nature. I am becoming concerned about the Road Safety Authority. I have great respect for Ms Murdoch, but I am concerned about the manner in which appointments are being made to the board of the authority. If the Minister, Deputy Ross, continues with the line up of appointments being made, he will turn the Road Safety Authority into a vigilante organisation. I am concerned that it is moving in that direction. Will the Taoiseach intercede and ask the authority to rejig the advertisement?
