- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Road Safety Authority (27 Jun 2024)
Verona Murphy: It is for the highly dense traffic areas where it is being trialled. It is not happening on rural roads.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Road Safety Authority (27 Jun 2024)
Verona Murphy: I am thrilled that Dr. Walsh came up with that. It is the requirement of the car owner to keep it roadworthy. It is not the requirement of the Department of Transport, it seems, to keep the roads car-worthy. I would like Dr. Walsh to take that back to his line Minister. That is what I have been hearing on the doors for the last two months. Why do cars and other vehicles have to be...
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Road Safety Authority (27 Jun 2024)
Verona Murphy: One of the aims of this committee concerns under-resourcing. I have had no correspondence from the RSA that tells me it would like more money - not one piece. We have clarified that I have the right correspondence details for you, have we not?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Road Safety Authority (27 Jun 2024)
Verona Murphy: I did not say they did. I did not give a number. I just said that I had not received a response from you. We have clarified it. The issue I have here is not just roads infrastructure. Visibility is also a key factor. When it comes to roads and hedging, particularly in rural Ireland, instead of Mr. Waide going to Sweden, I would rather that he comes down to the south of County Wexford,...

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Road Safety Authority (27 Jun 2024)
Verona Murphy: I do not want to get tetchy. The issue is not just the cutting; it is the height. The problem we have with the NPWS is that there is no recommendation from the RSA that the height is not sufficient. One cut only brings it to the height of a car, two cuts possibly to the height of a tractor but three are needed for it to be over 1 m.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Road Safety Authority (27 Jun 2024)
Verona Murphy: It is the cost, the time off the road and the fact that whatever journey they undertake without a mirror is one of extreme danger. My point is that I have seen no recommendation from the Road Safety Authority for that to change. I have asked for it but the RSA has always said that is within the remit of the NPWS. I suggest it is within the remit of the RSA to give the NPWS the advice and...
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Road Safety Authority (27 Jun 2024)
Verona Murphy: I will read what it says on the Government website. It quotes Professor Desmond O'Neill, from the national office for traffic medicine, as stating: This change [in extending the medical to 75] is welcome in terms of recognising that older drivers are an exceptionally responsible group of drivers. In addition, the change is supported by international research indicating that routine...
