The Government gave approval to draft the Road Traffic (No. 2) Bill 2011 in June 2011. In accordance with commitments regarding legislation in the Programme for Government, I presented the General Scheme to the Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Transport, Culture and the Gaeltacht on 5 July 2011. I invited the Committee to undertake a preliminary examination of the Scheme and provide me with comments within a month. Details of the General Scheme are available on my Department's website.

While it is my intention to prepare a Road Traffic (No. 3) Bill 2011, no firm decision has been taken to date on the measures to be contained therein.
