The amendment contains two particular points. First, on page 13, line 33, to delete the word "or." Second, on page 13, line 35, after the word duties to insert the following: "or a vehicle used in connection with the operation of electronic or other apparatus referred to in section 81(1) of the Road Traffic Act 2010 under an agreement in accordance with subsection (7) of that section and which is at a location determined by a member of the Garda Síochána not below the rank of Superintendent." As Senators will be aware, in this part of the Bill we focused in on vehicles that would be exempt from clamping. This amendment now includes vehicles that have safety cameras located within them. The reason we have made this change is because I believe it is appropriate that vehicles involved in road safety work, and detecting individuals and drivers who are involved in speeding, would not be clamped or relocated while involved in that work.

The other proposed amendment to the section is a consequence of inserting the additional type of vehicle referred to into the Bill.
