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.

Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2022
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (21 Mar 2024)
