A Fine Gael TD for Laois has asked the Minister for Transport about making the wearing of high-visibility jackets compulsory, as a road safety measure, for all pedestrians, cyclists and users of school transport. The written parliamentary question by Laois TD, William Aird, and its ministerial response were published on Tuesday, June 24th. Despite there being little evidence to support the effectiveness in high-vis reducing danger at a population level, calls to make the clothing compulsory are regular, with Galway West TD Éamon Ó Cuív (Fianna Fail) previously making a similar call at the end of the last Dail term.
