Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

The Road Safety Authority (RSA) is considering this matter, and my officials have also engaged with the Authority on how to address these cases.

As consideration is ongoing, it is not possible to be precise as to when the matter will be resolved, but I am keen to see a satisfactory resolution of this issue as soon as possible.
