Eamon Ryan (Dublin Bay South, Green Party) | Oireachtas source

When I went to the TII board, I explained to them that my emphasis on road safety comes from very personal experience. Like a lot of people in this House, I went into politics to try to protect people on our roads having seen the tragic consequences of people being killed after being knocked down in front of me. My first priority is to save people on our roads and improve road safety through the use of speed cameras, through the use of better design and through the better design of roads. The Deputy can call that ideological, but it is a human response to the tragedy that road deaths bring. That is what motivates me to get up in the morning to come in here to do every day what I am doing.

I do not have the exact figure for that thing. It was not given within my supplementary figures.
