Road Safety: Statements (17 Apr 2024)

Catherine Murphy: ...about road safety and making it their responsibility. I am glad the Minister of State has said that the issue of road collision data will be dealt with.

Catherine Murphy: ...being deployed. On the face of it, it seems this is an extraordinary use or misuse of resources. I am not satisfied. A hundred or so people are suspended. Some people are suspended for a very long time, which could be for justifiable reasons, but I am not convinced the three-month review is happening to the extent it should be if something like this can go on for the length of time...
