Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Road Safety Strategy: Discussion (Resumed)

9:00 am

Ms Verona Murphy:

No. There is no stipulation. It is our best practice. With due regard to all present, that is the height it needs to be; 4 m and upwards. There is no point in less. There are several roads that we must avoid because of overhanging branches. Our drivers avoid those roads because their trucks would have to go onto the other side of the road or they would seriously damage their vehicles.
