The budget for the Road Safety Authority for 2009 is €32.646m as per the Revised Estimates Volume published in April. Figures published before the REV are estimated and subject to revision, but as the Deputy will be aware from recent media coverage, the RSA's advertising budget in particular was reduced from €3.4m to €0.9m.

While my Department provides funding to Road Safety Authority, the allocation of resources, including own resources, to the various programmes is a matter for the Authority itself.

The functions delegated to the Minister of State are now exercised by me.
