My Department engages with the Road Safety Authority (RSA) on an extensive range of road safety matters. On the specific issue of the dangers of deer on the roads, there has not been any direct engagement with the Authority.
The appropriate road signage, including hazard warning signs regarding deer or other wild animals is the responsibility of the local authorities. However, the Authority provides a range road safety campaigns on several types of hazards to road users and facilitates road safety training and education campaigns in schools and wider communities to promote safe road use for all road users.
