Question 303: To ask the Minister for Transport if his Department has held discussions with the Department of Finance with the view of assessing the removal of VAT on road safety products such as cycling helmets, high visibility clothing and so on; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

My Department has not held discussions with the Minister for Finance in relation to the VAT issue referred to. Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006 (Conferral of Functions) Order 2006 (S.I. No. 477 of 2006) the promotion of road safety awareness measures is a matter for the Road Safety Authority.
