I propose to take Questions Nos. 622 to 624, inclusive, together.
Exchequer funding allocated to the Road Safety Authority in 2013 is €7,802,000. Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006 (Conferral of Functions) Order 2006 (S.I. No. 477 of 2006) the Road Safety Authority has responsibility its own expenditure and the way it is allocated. Inter agency relations are also a matter for the Road Safety Authority. Noting this I have referred the Deputy's questions to the Road Safety Authority for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you don't receive a reply within 10 working days.
