I take it that the Deputy is referring to the issue of a maximum vehicle height.

While at present the maximum height of goods vehicles is not regulated, my predecessor announced in January last year his intention to introduce a national maximum vehicle height of 4.65 metres. Draft Regulations to give effect to this decision have been received from the Road Safety Authority and are currently under consideration.
