Street safety and disability
Neasa Hourigan linked disability safety to street safety and asked about practical measures in Dublin that would not further strain garda resources. The Minister said she would come back to the Deputy.
We have heard questions from previous Deputies on the issue of people with disabilities, and this is related to that. One of the main reasons some of us got involved in politics was to ensure people with disabilities are safer, feel safer and are protected in their everyday environment. For Dublin, that means walking down the street safely. We are in the middle of implementing BusConnects and the Dublin transport plan. For all of that to work, we need safety on our streets. Anything implementable and enforceable and which does not put further pressure on Garda resources must be welcome. Can we get an update on progress in the roll-out of red light traffic cameras across the country? Work has been done in recent months on a review of such cameras for the city.

I will have to come back to the Deputy on that.
