Road safety is a priority for me and the Government. Since becoming Taoiseach seven weeks ago, I have chaired two meetings on road safety, we have allocated an additional €3 million to public awareness campaigns and we are working with local authorities to see what more we can do on road safety. We all have to amplify the message around killer behaviours, especially as we approach this bank holiday.

The point the Deputy made on structure, governance and the role of the RSA is important. The Minister of State, Deputy Chambers, is fully committed to this. I need to check that I am right about the timeframe, but I know the work is well under way. We will see the output this year. I will ask the Minister of State to come back to the Deputy with a specific time.
