I welcome all my colleagues and the staff and wish everybody a very happy new year.

Today, I want to bring up the issue of road safety and road traffic and how the two are mixed. I am particularly struck by so many tragedies that we have seen across 2025 and, indeed, at the start of 2026. In my own area of Wexford, I specifically want to highlight three key areas. Clohamon cross on the N80, not too far from Bunclody and Enniscorthy, is well known to local motorists as an area which, too regularly, sees serious car accidents. Regrettably, it is only a matter of time until there is another loss of life at that site. I want to highlight Kyle Cross on the N11. Located between Enniscorthy and Wexford town, it is an area that has seen far too many fatal accidents over the last number of years. Finally, I want to highlight the very significant issue of the crossing at Larkin's Cross, located on the N25 between Wexford town and New Ross. Only two weeks ago, there was, yet again, a very serious accident. It is truly a miracle that nobody was killed in a two-car collision that occurred on that site. We need to have the Minister for Transport in this Chamber to answer directly as to why Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII, is taking so long to address the serious road traffic issues at those three sites in Wexford. I encourage the Leader to organise a debate in this Chamber with the Minister for Transport on road traffic generally and on road safety and what can be done to stop so many people losing their lives on our roads.
