Ireland’s Minister for Transport, Darragh O’Brien, has sharply criticized the Road Safety Authority (RSA) for its lack of public comment following a fatal collision on the M9 motorway. O’Brien stated the RSA needs to improve its responsiveness and “get its act together,” particularly concerning the lengthy waiting times for driving tests across the country. He did not elaborate on details of the M9 incident itself, focusing instead on the agency’s communication shortcomings. The minister’s remarks suggest increasing pressure on the RSA to address both the backlog in testing and improve public transparency with regard to road safety incidents. This criticism comes amid growing public concern about road safety and the accessibility of driving lessons and tests. O'Brien’s comments indicate a demand for greater accountability from the RSA regarding delays and public communication protocols. The M9 collision has clearly amplified these concerns.
