I welcome the Government's commitment to the Road Safety Strategy 2021-2030. How are we leveraging technology and what are the timelines for when the Traffic Watch online reporting form will have the capacity for video or photographic evidence to be uploaded? With regard to the alcohol interlock programme, how is the working group getting on? Are there timelines for when we might get the benefit of this technology? Today is national slow down day and it is disgraceful that by 10 o'clock this morning more than 120 drivers had been caught speeding, with one travelling at more than 44 km/h above the limit.

In Mayo so far this year we have already tragically lost five lives on the road. There are no excuses for speeding.

I thank the Deputy for raising the issue, particularly on national slow down day. I do not have an up-to-date position on where the working group is at. I will talk to the Minister about the Deputy having raised this issue and will ask him to come back to her directly on both issues, namely, the technology and the working group. We are losing too many lives on the road. We changed the dial significantly in the past, particularly in the early 2000s when significant legislation was introduced, against a lot of opposition in the House and so on. It was the then Minister, Noel Dempsey, who led the way with the late Gay Byrne, who was the chair of the Road Safety Authority. They just went ahead and did it against a lot of political opposition and all of that, but it led to a significant reduction in road deaths, as did the investment in motorways, better roads and so on.
