24. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport given increased scooter and bicycle usage, if he will consider measures or campaigns to enhance visibility, such as promoting the use of lights, reflectors, and high visibility jackets in the upcoming winter months; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has statutory responsibility for the promotion of public awareness of road safety. In this capacity, the RSA has distributed millions of high-visibility vests, armbands and rucksack covers to members of the public in recent years.

Given the RSA's responsibility in this matter, I have referred the Deputy's question for a more detailed, direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response is not received within 10 days.
