That is exactly what we would want to see.

The Deputy mentioned interagency co-operation. A strong example of that was the recent implementation of an initiative by my predecessor, the Minister, Deputy Chambers, who signed a ministerial order on 21 June just before leaving this role to allow the sharing of collision data between agencies. Now, the Garda and the Road Safety Authority, RSA, can share data with each other. That was always the case. It was complicated by GDPR, but that issue has now been corrected. This was a commonsensical measure that my Department took to cut through red tape.
