Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 5 October 2023
186. Deputy Michael Lowry asked the Minister for Transport whether his Department and the RSA (Road Safety Authority) have engaged with the Irish Motorcycle Association for Ireland (details supplied); if he and the RSA will consider scheduling a meeting with them at their earliest convenience; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43348/23]
View answerNeither I nor officials in my Department have had direct engagement with the Irish Motorcycle Association. Under the Road Safety Authority Act 2006, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has extensive statutory responsibilities in relation to road safety and driver licencing, including for motorcyclists. Given these responsibilities, I have sent the Deputy's question to the RSA for its consideration and direct reply on the specific issue raised. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.
