Reforming the Road Safety Authority is preferable to disbanding it, according to Minister of State for Transport Seán Canney. Photograph: iStockDisbanding the Road Safety Authority (RSA) and splitting its work between two new organisations would take up to two years, Minister of State for Transport Seán Canney has said. An independent external review of the RSA by Indecon Economic Consultants recommended it be reformed by separating the authority into two agencies, one that is responsible for road safety and another for operational activities such as the NCT and driver testing. Speaking on RTÉ radio’s This Week programme, Mr Canney said reform of the organisation was a better option than disbandment.

Premier League: Everton 2 Brentford 4Igor Thiago ended a six-match drought with a first Premier League hat-trick in the 4-2 victory at Everton which fired Brentford to within four points of the top four. The Brazilian took his tally to 14 with his first goals since the end of November and only Manchester City’s Erling Haaland has scored more in the Premier League. Everton’s two early chances saw Dwight McNeil denied by Kelleher and Thiago clear Tarkowski’s header off the line, but they then shot themselves in the foot. Grealish’s loose backheel on the touchline saw Janelt profit again, this time from the right, and his cross was turned home by Schade. Collins and Thiago scored within two minutes of each other to put the result beyond doubt as early as the 51st minute, but Brentford’s centre-forward was not to be denied his hat-trick even after Everton briefly threatened a comeback.
