Written answers

Minister for Transport and the Marine (Deputy Noel Dempsey)

Following both a public consultation process and a process of direct consultation with key stakeholders, the Road Safety Authority (RSA), who have responsibility for its preparation, have submitted to me a draft Road Safety Strategy for the period 2007-2012. I intend bringing the Strategy to Government for approval shortly.
