Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic Bill 2016 (Seanad): Committee Stage (30 Nov 2016)

Shane Ross: I move amendment No. 19:In page 10, between lines 18 and 19, to insert the following:"Impairment testing 8.The Act of 2010 is amended by substituting the following for section 11:"11.(1) Where a member of the Garda Síochána is of the opinion that a person driving or attempting to drive a mechanically propelled vehicle, or in charge of a mechanically propelled vehicle with intent to...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic Bill 2016 (Seanad): Committee Stage (30 Nov 2016)

Shane Ross: I will address the questions first and then the amendments. Deputy Munster asked about the definition. It is being examined by the Attorney General. It is a bit of a problem. We have a problem with her definition because it is more difficult than we anticipated to define a "housing estate". Apparently, it could be interpreted to include five houses alongside a dual carriageway. We,...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic Bill 2016 (Seanad): Committee Stage (30 Nov 2016)

Shane Ross: Apparently, it is because of the protection given in the Constitution to private property. I will communicate further with the Deputy about that matter in a fuller form. Is that all right?

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic Bill 2016 (Seanad): Committee Stage (30 Nov 2016)

Shane Ross: Unfortunately, it is apparently true as well.

Shane Ross: We risk starting rows. We might not do it.

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic Bill 2016 (Seanad): Committee Stage (30 Nov 2016)

Shane Ross: We will leave it for the moment. Deputy Catherine Murphy wanted me to answer a few other questions. I suppose the question of by-laws is a problem in that they operate in a kind of one-size-fits-all manner. I have some sympathy for local authorities in that regard. We must give them the flexibility because what suits one estate does not suit another and the application of an overall 20...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic Bill 2016 (Seanad): Committee Stage (30 Nov 2016)

Shane Ross: We are on the same ground. All I can say to the Deputy is that we cannot legislate for a default limit without clarity on this issue from the Attorney General. We have not yet had that clarity and we are still awaiting it, but we do not want to delay the Bill for that. We will have it and we will include that consideration when we come to the next phase of this. We do not want to delay...

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic Bill 2016 (Seanad): Committee Stage (30 Nov 2016)

Shane Ross: I will report to Deputy Munster on Report Stage. If we put amendments through now, it will delay the Bill. Maybe it would be better, if Deputy Munster wishes to push this, that we go to Report Stage with it. I will report to the Deputy on that on Report Stage but it will probably be the same answer. I think it will take some time.

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic Bill 2016 (Seanad): Committee Stage (30 Nov 2016)

Shane Ross: Will all the discussion about the rickshaws come later?

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Traffic Bill 2016 (Seanad): Committee Stage (30 Nov 2016)

Shane Ross: Of course. I am proposing a number of technical amendments here to Part 3 of the Road Traffic Act 2010. Part 3 of the 2010 Act replaces the existing legislation for fixed charge offences and in particular provides for the so-called "third payment option", with which everybody is familiar. At present, motorists who receive a fixed charge notice have 28 days in which to pay the charge and...
