307.

The Deputy will appreciate that road safety policy, including in the context of cooperation with the Northern Ireland authorities is the responsibility of my colleague the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport. In that regard, the mutual recognition of driving disqualifications between Ireland and the UK, in respect of certain road traffic offences, came into effect from 28 January 2010. There is of course close cooperation between An Garda Síochána and the PSNI on a wide range of policing matters, including road traffic enforcement.
