Committee, Report and Final Stages of the Road Safety Authority Bill 2004 are scheduled for Seanad Éireann this week. Following its passage in the Oireachtas it will be presented to the President for signature. The Bill provides for the transfer, to the Road Safety Authority, of the functions of the National Safety Council except those relating to fire safety which are being transferred to the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government. The Bill also provides for the transfer, to the Road Safety Authority, of functions relating to road safety research and accident statistics presently being undertaken by the National Roads Authority.
