- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Safety Strategy 2021-30: Discussion (30 Jun 2022)
Jerry Buttimer: I will give the assistant commissioner an example. Nine times out of ten I could leave here and drive out almost to Avoca in CityWest and there will be a speed van in a particular location. I could nearly bet my life on it. There is a reason I am asking the question. I am aware it is about analysis, but I would like to hear the analysis that informs what the Garda does. I can tell our...

Jerry Buttimer: I thank and applaud the members of the Garda National Roads Policing Bureau for the work they do every day. My questions were not a criticism. To be fair to members of An Garda Síochána, during Covid they were out on the checkpoints doing a job that many people did not want them to be there for. We should thank them today. I have, unfortunately, had to meet members of An Garda...

Jerry Buttimer: To take up Senator Craughwell's point, one could be travelling at 100 km/h before coming to a 60 km/h limit at Lissard in Cork. Is there a thought process around going from 100 km/h in a graded way to 80 km/h and then a speed appropriate to a village like Lissard? It is a fair point.

Jerry Buttimer: The assistant commissioner mentioned distractions. Are our vehicles today becoming too distracting? Are they becoming the dining room, the office, the entertainment or whatever else? Senator Horkan’s raised the point of having a black box in cars, which I know would never travel because of GDPR. However, on the issue of distractions, is our focus wrong? Are we focusing too much on...
