An arrangement for broadcasting information on road traffic dangers arising from exceptional weather conditions is at present in existence between the Radio Éireann Authority and the Automobile Association. I am informed that warnings are broadcast with the Authority's regular news bulletins whenever road conditions throughout the country or in a particular area warrant it.
