============================================================

Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

Not to be pedantic, but the RSA would not have written to me last March because I was not the Taoiseach then. I will certainly follow up on any correspondence the authority may have sent to my predecessor.
I have met representatives of the RSA on two occasions since becoming Taoiseach. We have authorised the use of €3 million more of its reserves for those very important education and awareness campaigns the Deputy rightly talked about. We have also allocated €30 million in additional funding for local authorities to improve road maintenance. The Deputy is also right that it is a factor in collisions. I chaired a ministerial committee on road safety in the past couple of weeks and I intend to bring a memo on road safety measures to the Cabinet before the summer recess.
