The outgoing chair of the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has defended the record of the under-fire agency, and said its current “self-financing model is broken and not fit-for-purpose".

“We know that the Government will soon make decisions on the future organisational structure of road safety,” RSA chairperson Liz O’Donnell, who has held the role for the past decade, said.
