- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (18 Apr 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I imagine that this will be dealt with in correspondence next week. I wrote to the committee secretariat about the Road Safety Authority. This can be checked with the secretariat, but I believe the authority's representatives have not appeared before the committee since 2006.

- Road Safety: Statements (17 Apr 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Something that has struck me in this debate so far is the emphasis on drivers only. Automobile traffic is the only thing that has been mentioned.

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I welcome the Bill. It was a key recommendation of the OECD's review of the Irish pension system that we had to increase that supplemental pension coverage.
