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

Kieran O'Donnell: With regard to the speed vans we see, not only on motorways, is the Garda National Roads Policing Bureau able to correlate its data, to see where the fatalities happen, for there to be known spots for speeding? A very high percentage of 29% of fatal road traffic collisions were reported to have had speeding as a contributory factor. When the Garda National Roads Policing Bureau does its...

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

Kieran O'Donnell: .... They are basically saying that we cannot limit for age for the purchase of an e-scooter. We have asked them to look at it again. Perhaps Professor Cusack would send that on to us and to An Garda Síochána as well. As the witnesses are probably aware, the legislation is only framework legislation. It is not detailed legislation. It would come in by way of statutory...

Kieran O'Donnell: ...point. What can be done for the future, in terms of other bank holiday weekends, that is different from what was done last bank holiday weekend? Will Ms Hilman expand a little more on what An Garda Síochána will do differently and on the other policies it is going to bring in from here on? We are looking at a situation whereby there have been 83 fatalities. Ironically, the...

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

Kieran O'Donnell: When Ms Hilman is answering the question, will she give me a statistic for what has been the increase in detection of drink- and drug-driving? An Garda Síochána does fantastic work, but Ms Hilman will appreciate that we have a role as a committee to ask the questions. What has been the change in the detection rate for alcohol and drugs for the first six months of this year...

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

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

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: ...were also 13 serious injuries this year - and thank God nobody else was killed - and 20 serious injuries in 2019. For the public, the educational message is there. What further deterrents can An Garda Síochána bring to the table in terms of traffic policing that will let people know? The number of 2,600 speeding detections is a phenomenal number with 69-----

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?

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Committee Stage (22 Jun 2022)

Kieran O'Donnell: Is there anything within the legislation that allows An Garda Síochána to ask someone who is riding a PPT his or her age? I take the Minister's point about purchase, but use is the big issue here.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Cybersecurity and Hybrid Threats Following the Russian Invasion of Ukraine: Discussion (30 Mar 2022)

Kieran O'Donnell: I am on the rota to speak next. We asked the Department of Defence and an Garda Síochána to attend today. They advised us that as far as they are concerned, the National Cyber Security Centre was the body responsible for cybersecurity in Ireland. Is that the situation?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Cybersecurity and Hybrid Threats Following the Russian Invasion of Ukraine: Discussion (30 Mar 2022)

Kieran O'Donnell: How does the NCSC co-ordinate with the Department of Defence and an Garda Síochána?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Cybersecurity and Hybrid Threats Following the Russian Invasion of Ukraine: Discussion (30 Mar 2022)

Kieran O'Donnell: For example, Rehab Group had a cyberattack in more recent days. We were surprised that An Garda Síochána and the Department of Defence would not come before us. They came back to us and said the sole responsibility in this area in terms of direction rests with the National Cyber Security Centre. Can we put flesh on that? With the Rehab situation that has happened in more recent...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Cybersecurity and Hybrid Threats Following the Russian Invasion of Ukraine: Discussion (30 Mar 2022)

Kieran O'Donnell: On this particular response, is there a team in place? Does the NCSC have the Department of Defence, An Garda Síochána and other bodies on board? Has the NCSC, as I said, an A-team on this?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Cybersecurity and Hybrid Threats Following the Russian Invasion of Ukraine: Discussion (30 Mar 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Cybersecurity and Hybrid Threats Following the Russian Invasion of Ukraine: Discussion (30 Mar 2022)

Kieran O'Donnell: The Garda prosecutes. If, for instance, an incident arises where perhaps a mobile phone is hacked, and I get onto the mobile provider, will the provider contact the NCSC, will it contact the Garda, or will they contact both?
