Question:

302. Deputy Steven Matthews asked the Minister for Transport if discussions are expected with the Road Safety Authority regarding upcoming safety campaigns; if a campaign to raise awareness of the dangers of tailgating and driving too close to fellow road users could be considered; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Transport

The Road Safety Authority has responsibility for the promotion of road safety awareness, safety campaigns, and the dissemination of road safety information. I have therefore referred this 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.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51
