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
