Road Safety Authority

Also known as RSA.

The Road Safety Authority carries out road-safety work for the State, with functions passed across from the Department of Transport. Those include certificates of competency, test certificates and registration of driving instructors, and the Minister may assign further road-traffic functions by order.

It was established on 1 September 2006. Section 3 of the Road Safety Authority Act 2006 created the Authority on the establishment day, and S.I. No. 462 of 2006 appointed that day.

How to read these figures

These are reported values from published purchase order and payment records — not verified cash paid, and not total spending by this organisation. A row may be a purchase order, a payment, or another reported transaction; the source files often do not say which.

Coverage and quality vary. Some fields are blank, supplier names are free text (the same firm can appear under many labels), and descriptions are inconsistent rather than a controlled taxonomy. An amount alone says nothing about value for money and it may or may not include VAT.

Records are retrieved from each organisation’s published files such as spreadsheets, PDFs, and other formats of uneven quality. Extraction techniques (including automated parsing) can introduce gaps, misreads, or incomplete rows when source layout or quality is poor. Treat the data as a starting point for investigation, not a definitive ledger.
