Yeah, so this has been kind of actually a long running issue between various different ministers on the Road Safety Authority down through the years.
There have been kind of multiple proposals or talk of reform of the Road Safety Authority.
And this particular issue, which arose this week, was revealed in a story by Jack Organ Jones.
in the Irish Times.
And basically what the story revealed was that there was correspondence between the minister, Seán Canny, who has responsibility for roads and senior officials in the URSA, where he was complaining that, in his opinion, the authority wasn't visible enough during high profile incidents late last year.
in terms of being out in the media, in terms of explaining policy, in terms of explaining what the public should or shouldn't be doing or what they should or shouldn't be taking from particular trends.
And there would seem to be a bit of pushback in the RSA, although they did eventually seem to concede that they would need to be out more often.
Now, I think the interesting thing to watch from this in the next couple of weeks is
Sean Canney, I believe, is putting together a number of proposals for wide scale reform of the RSA and is going to bring those to cabinet.
We've previously heard proposals for it to be, you know, split basically.
So I'll be very interested to see not only what he proposes, but does he actually get it over the line?
Because we've heard talk of this for years.
I have to say, as someone who's just gotten driving, started driving in the last couple of years, my biggest anxiety and fear is people appearing out of nowhere on an e-scooter from any side.
And it just frightens the life out of me.
And I just think it's so dangerous.
And they kind of weave in and out.
I cross the keys a lot and just appear out of nowhere.
And there's loads of times when they've just appeared at the front of my bonnet.
And I thought, oh, my God, it's so close to hitting that person.
And there's also an issue, I think, in terms of the guards who have brought up an issue around basically pursuit of because it's very, very difficult for the guards to pursue to safely pursue somebody who's on the e-bike.
