Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Second Stage (10 Nov 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I wish to speak in support of this legislation. It is very positive. I was someone who up to ten months ago took off every day from Clare in my diesel Honda car and drove to the gates of Dáil Éireann but in recent months I have embraced multimodal transport. This morning I took the car to the train station, from which I took the train to Heuston Station and then I took a bike. I...

Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Second Stage (10 Nov 2021)

Martin Browne: At the outset and to be parochial, I would mention the N24 bypass of Tipperary town. The Minister of State might be able to put in a good word for it. I would like to speak about the creation of a new classification of a vehicle to facilitate the use of e-scooters and similar devices.

This also aligns our national rules for e-bikes with the approach taken in other jurisdictions...

Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Second Stage (10 Nov 2021)

Darren O'Rourke: This is wide-ranging legislation. The transport committee undertook pre-legislative scrutiny over the past few months. Many aspects of the Bill seek to make our roads safer from variable speed limits to regulating e-scooters to giving gardaí more powers to check for uninsured vehicles on our roads. Sinn Féin welcomes these provisions. We support making our roads safer and trying...

Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Second Stage (10 Nov 2021)

Hildegarde Naughton: I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time." It is satisfying to be able to bring the Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021 before the House. This Bill began life under the previous Government, with a number of important and necessary issues addressed, but we have added significantly to it in light of the programme for Government and emerging issues since the Government was formed. It...
