- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Safety Strategy 2021-30: Discussion (30 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: An Garda Síochána is doing all of this very good policing work. Why then did we have eight fatalities and 13 serious injuries on the roads? We have to ask the hard questions. It is not personal. As public representatives, we are duty-bound to ask those questions.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Safety Strategy 2021-30: Discussion (30 Jun 2022)

Kieran O'Donnell: Yes, 69 drug-driving and 140 drink-driving incidents. These numbers have more than doubled. The Garda is doing the detections. What would Ms Hilman's message be to the public in terms of what An Garda Síochána will be doing differently?
