Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Discussion (2 Mar 2022)

Kieran O'Donnell: Ms Andrews's understanding is that it will be macro primary legislation followed by secondary legislation followed by the shared scheme.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Discussion (2 Mar 2022)

Kieran O'Donnell: Would that come through in the form of legislation or a statutory instrument? When we speak about secondary legislation are we talking about a statutory instrument?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Discussion (2 Mar 2022)

Kieran O'Donnell: That flows from the primary legislation as I am sure Ms Andrews is aware.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Discussion (2 Mar 2022)

Kieran O'Donnell: In layman's terms, the primary legislation is key because under specific sections it gives the Minister the power to implement. Will that also deal with the shared schemes?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Discussion (2 Mar 2022)

Kieran O'Donnell: That will come through what we know as a statutory instrument. Ms Andrews is calling it secondary legislation but to a layman it is the statutory instrument which is what the Minister can bring forward. He is required to lay it before the Dáil but it does not come through the Houses in the traditional manner of a Bill.

Kieran O'Donnell: Will that come through on the same statutory instrument or is Ms Andrews being told it is coming much later?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Discussion (2 Mar 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Discussion (2 Mar 2022)

Kieran O'Donnell: Is that in respect of the speed and wattage or is it in respect of the shared scheme?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Discussion (2 Mar 2022)

Kieran O'Donnell: That is a good bit off.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Discussion (2 Mar 2022)

Kieran O'Donnell: I thank Ms Dunne. To conclude on a point Ms Andrews made, has Superpedestrian had an opportunity to look at how the law has been put in place in other jurisdictions? Are the details on wattage and speeds coming through in primary or in secondary legislation? One can call it a statutory instrument, regulations or whatever else. What is the format being used in other countries?
