Question 161: To ask the Minister for Transport if he has plans for the compulsory wearing of high visibility vests for cyclists and motor cyclists; his views on the need for such action; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12623/05]

I do not consider there should be a regulatory requirement on people to wear such clothing. The consensus of public authorities concerned with road safety has been that the wearing of high visibility vests is best promoted on a voluntary basis by way of educational and publicity campaigns such as those undertaken, by the National Safety Council.
