I have no function in relation to the roadside inspection of vehicles in the United Kingdom. As a consequence of the Road Safety Authority Act 2006 (Conferral of Functions) Order 2006 (S.I. No. 477 of 2006) the Road Safety Authority is now responsible for matters relating to vehicle standards in Ireland.
