Text

I hope that the Speaker will not mind indulging me for a second to congratulate my good colleague beside me, Willie Irwin, on reaching his final day of service in the Assembly Chamber. We all wish him well for the future.
I thank the Minister for her answer. She will be aware of the very recent and tragic loss of life on the Lurgan Road in Glenavy. Our hearts go out to those families who have suffered such terrible loss. Given the long-term ambition of the 'Road Safety Strategy for Northern Ireland to 2030', can the Minister outline how the new technology that she has already spoken about and the maintenance strategy reforms and budget allocations, including the £13·2 million that was announced today, will align with the strategy's targets to ensure meaningful reductions in deaths and serious injuries on our roads?
