- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Urban Area Speed Limits and Road Safety Strategy: Discussion (1 Mar 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: If we take the sharing of information between the Garda and the RSA in terms of fatalities coming through and where there may be reclassifications. The initial data from An Garda Síochána would refer to a fatality or a non-fatality, or it could be the case that it stated a person died of a heart attack and now the death is being attributed to a car crash. Can the RSA show the live...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Urban Area Speed Limits and Road Safety Strategy: Discussion (1 Mar 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: The question is about getting an accurate figure on road fatalities. That will inform the data, which will inform policy and so forth.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Urban Area Speed Limits and Road Safety Strategy: Discussion (1 Mar 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: That is from the RSA to the Garda. What form would that take? Is there an example the RSA can share?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Urban Area Speed Limits and Road Safety Strategy: Discussion (1 Mar 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Is it data protection that prevents the RSA from sharing?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Urban Area Speed Limits and Road Safety Strategy: Discussion (1 Mar 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Obviously, there will be items coming from the Garda that would assist the RSA as well.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Urban Area Speed Limits and Road Safety Strategy: Discussion (1 Mar 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: The RSA believes it may be inhibiting it having a better strategy. Would that be fair comment?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Urban Area Speed Limits and Road Safety Strategy: Discussion (1 Mar 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: The RSA has 50 actions where it is looking at €18 million over five years. Is that correct?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Urban Area Speed Limits and Road Safety Strategy: Discussion (1 Mar 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: It is multilayered. The RSA is looking at that, and it is roughly breaking out at just over €4 million a year.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Urban Area Speed Limits and Road Safety Strategy: Discussion (1 Mar 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: We ask the RSA to give us a bit more detail so we can go forward. I call Senator Gerry Horkan.

Kieran O'Donnell: In terms of the Love 30 group's campaign for a 30 km/h speed limit, is the working group that is being established the main vehicle to drive that change?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Urban Area Speed Limits and Road Safety Strategy: Discussion (1 Mar 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: The working group that is being established-----

Kieran O'Donnell: Is the partnership board new or has it always been there?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Urban Area Speed Limits and Road Safety Strategy: Discussion (1 Mar 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: For how long has it been up and running?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Urban Area Speed Limits and Road Safety Strategy: Discussion (1 Mar 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: The working group was established at the same time but feeds into the board.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Urban Area Speed Limits and Road Safety Strategy: Discussion (1 Mar 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: The working group is like the partnerships. The funding will come down. There are 50 actions and the working group is specifically dealing with one of the key areas, namely, the 30 km/h default speed limit in urban and built-up areas. At this stage, it is about delivery. I assume that there are specific timeframes for each of the 50 actions.

Kieran O'Donnell: Before I call Deputy O'Rourke, Dr. D'Arcy wishes to make a comment.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Urban Area Speed Limits and Road Safety Strategy: Discussion (1 Mar 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: We cannot have Mr. Waide coming back saying that. The amount of money involved does not appear enormous. It is €4 million per year, basically. There is a strategy. We will follow up on that. I am conscious that we are here to discuss the 30 km/h campaign. We want to push on that.

Kieran O'Donnell: Will Ms O'Dea elaborate and put a bit more flesh on that?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Urban Area Speed Limits and Road Safety Strategy: Discussion (1 Mar 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: The review group should be doing that. That should be key to that group.
