Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 12 May 2021
68. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Transport further to Parliamentary Question No. 159 of 10 February 2021, if he will report on the 29 action plans from the 2013-2020 Road Safety Strategy that were not completed by the end of the strategy term on 31 December 2020; the reason he reported that there were only seven action plans incomplete by the end of the strategy term in his reply; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24801/21]
View answerI understand that the RSA has been finalizing its report on the Actions under the Road Safety Strategy 2013-2020. The research has been completed and it is currently being reviewed by the RSA. Due to more urgent priorities following the Covid-19 pandemic, the review is somewhat behind schedule.
The report findings will be presented to the Board of the RSA, following which the report will be published.
I would like to thank the Deputy for raising her question about my answer of 10 February last. I should clarify that the 7 uncompleted Actions from the Strategy referred to in my response on that occasion are the uncompleted Actions for which my Department has the lead role.
I now understand from the RSA that the total number of uncompleted Actions for all stakeholders is indeed 29, as the Deputy says. I apologise if there was any confusion over this.
