This is an operational matter for the Road Safety Authority (RSA). I have therefore referred the matter to the Authority for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.

The information requested is held by the Road Safety Authority (RSA).

I am therefore passing the Deputy's question to the Road Safety Authority for direct reply. If a reply has not been received within 10 working days, the Deputy should contact my office.

In accordance with the provisions of the Road Safety Authority Act 2006, as enacted by the Oireachtas, this is an operational matter for the Road Safety Authority (RSA) and it would therefore not be in accordance with the legislation if I were to issue instructions on such a matter.

I have therefore referred the matter to the Authority for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.
