Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

The purpose of this Bill is to establish a road safety authority and to amend section 9 of the Road Traffic Act 2002, which relates specifically to the implementation of the European Convention on Mutual Recognition of Driving Disqualifications. I have been advised that, in this context, it is not appropriate that this Bill be used as a means to amend the Road Traffic Acts which constitute a legal framework for the regulation of traffic, vehicles and drivers.
