Questions (527)

Maureen O'Sullivan

Question:

527. Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the specific research supports the policies of An Garda Síochána and the Road Safety Authority in promoting the wearing of hi-vis apparel by cyclists and pedestrians in urban areas, with specific reference to demonstrated reductions in collisions, injuries or fatality rates; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7102/15]

Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

The Road Safety Authority has responsibility for carrying out research in these matters.  I have therefore referred the question 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.
