PQ 408
408. Deputy Cathal Crowe asked the Minister for Transport in light of the 190 road fatalities in 2025, and the continued surge in deaths recorded in early 2026, if he will provide a definitive update on his Department's assessment of establishing a statutory road safety commissioner; if this officeholder would be granted the specific legal authority and budget required to unify the currently diffused responsibilities between the RSA, local authorities and An Garda Síochána to meet the 2030 target of halving road deaths; his views on the reasons the current governance model is failing to meet these trajectories; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
