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...

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

Shane Ross: I will address the amendments very briefly. Deputy Munster's amendment is almost identical to my amendment. The substance of it is already covered in the amendments I am proposing, which are more wide-ranging in various areas. Section 78A of the Road Traffic Act 1961 requires motor insurers to provide details regarding insurance policies to the Garda, the Motor Insurers Bureau of Ireland...

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

Shane Ross: What the Deputy says is correct. There is a lacuna here. Anybody who wanders around the streets of Dublin at night will see these groups and will be concerned about regulation. I will address the current situation. In response to the concerns being expressed by Deputy Munster, which are primarily safety issues, Dublin City Council and the National Transport Authority, NTA, have obtained...

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

Shane Ross: All the Deputies have identified a problem and I should acknowledge that. It is right to say there is a problem.

There is a certain amount of concern, which I share. I will not include provisions in this Bill because...

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

Shane Ross: I agree that it would be possible but it would delay the Bill. Why not wait until Report Stage, when I will provide a report on where we are and on what are the possibilities? If we are going to delay the Bill now, it will have to go backwards and forwards and the whole Bill will be delayed. I assure the Deputies that we will address this and I will come back with where we are. We will...
