I will pass those comments on to the Minister. The updated Garda primary schools and post-primary schools programmes will be launched in the coming year.I reiterate that basic tuition to lay foundation in driver education features in the school curricula.

I note what the Senator said. While the RSA is not under the remit of the Department of Education, it provides back-to-school advice for parents and children in regard to transport, travelling by car, walking to school, travelling by bus and cycle safety. A number of different measures and curricula, therefore, teach children about road safety issues and their own personal safety . There are basic guidelines and tuition in respect of a foundation in driver education and they should be of assistance.
