The Road Safety Authority (RSA) is responsible for developing a new Road Safety Strategy for the period 2007 -2011. They went out to public consultation in October last year and I understand they have received a substantial number of suggestions and proposals as a result of this process. The RSA also engaged in a process of direct consultation with key stakeholders in December 2006. The volume of submissions received from these processes are being considered by the Authority prior to the finalisation of the new Strategy. When I receive the new Road Safety Strategy I will submit it to Government for approval as soon as possible thereafter.
