My question relates to the regulation of rickshaws. Before Christmas the Road Traffic Bill was progressed through the Dáil with a Sinn Féin amendment tabled by Deputy Imelda Munster. Unfortunately, Sinn Féin and the Government rejected the proposed Fianna Fáil amendments tabled by Deputy Troy, which provided a more wholesome regulation of rickshaws. The Minister, Deputy Ross, said he would commission a report from the National Transport Authority on the regulation of rickshaws. The CEO of Dublin City Council, Owen Keegan, said the Sinn Féin amendment will not provide the legislative certainty to regulate rickshaws. Is this a priority for the Government and could it progress legislation on the matter?
