Abstract
The rapid reduction over the last five years in the number of road-related deaths in Ireland is a major success story of Irish public policy and administration. In this article, we explore the role played by the Road Safety Authority in this and critically analyze the key factors that played a role in its creation, management and early development. Drawing on primary and secondary sources, we identify a number of causal factors that contributed significantly to the Authority’s evolution and achievements. The paper makes some significant findings for the analysis and understanding of Irish agencies that has implications not just for academic study but also applied practitioner learning.
