Report by consultancy firm Indecon details growing financial pressure at the Road Safety Authority due to ‘unsustainable’ funding model

Report by consultats details growing financial pressure at the Road Safety Authority due to ‘unsustainable’ funding model

A final copy of an external review into the agency, seen by The Irish Times, says there is a “risk of insufficient resources and focus” being allocated to road safety and education. The consultancy firm has found that the existing model is unsustainable and recommended wide-ranging changes. It argues that in order for customer services to be sustainable, the RSA “is likely to require an increase in fees in 2025 and modest increases in subsequent years”.

The report outlines the need for legislative change and “changes in penalties faced by dangerous road users” and for “appropriate levels of penalties, policing and detection”. It proposes transferring public interest activities back into the Department and leaving the RSA to look after NCT, driver testing and other operational services.
