What mechanism or options are available to Members on foot of a resolution to investigate the activities, efficacy and productivity of the HSE?

We are all concerned about road safety and, due to changing weather patterns, the months ahead may prove to be the difficult and challenging in this area but I would like to highlight the issue of tyre depth level. Can the Leader arrange a brief on the current checks and balances in the road safety strategy in this regard? As a motorist, I am used to roadside checkpoints for tax, insurance, drink driving and so on. I have covered thousands of miles but I have never come across a checkpoint for tyre depth level. The only thing between the car, the motorist and the road itself is the tyres. Emergency vehicles travel at relatively high speeds but the tyre depth level of such vehicles in the London metropolitan area varies significantly from that of similar vehicles in the Dublin metropolitan area. Will the Leader arrange a brief on matters relating to tyre depth?
