When is publication expected for the road traffic Bill? We have introduced many safety measures for road traffic but with darker evenings, people are still walking on the roads. It should be mandatory for people to wear reflective jackets or armbands in such circumstances. This is a serious issue in rural Ireland, where people go out on the road without proper reflective jackets or armbands. There should be a fine for not wearing such clothing.

We will find out about that.

I commend the gardaí going around to schools to speak to young people about the necessity for safety, particularly with the dark winter evenings we are experiencing. The heads are being prepared on the Bill but it will be next year before it is published.
