Pat Gallagher (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

I am advised by the Parliamentary Counsel that he is satisfied that the correct use of singular or plural, or a mixture of both, is in conformity. I refer to an example relating to amendments Nos. 4 and 5. Subsection (5) gives wide discretion to the Minister regarding the scope of regulations to restrict or prohibit in-vehicle communication information and entertainment technologies. Essentially, it allows for regulations to be vehicle-specific or case-specific. This type of provision is common in regard to regulation-making powers under the Road Traffic Acts. I am satisfied that the use of "cases" and "vehicles" in the subsection is appropriate. The Parliamentary Counsel has advised me that this is in conformity.
