Minister of State at the Department of Transport (Deputy Noel Ahern)

I have provided €4.395 million to the Medical Bureau of Road Safety for 2009. While my Department provides annual funding to the Medical Bureau of Road Safety, the allocation of resources to the various programmes is a matter for the bureau itself.
