The Road Traffic (Construction and Use of Vehicles) (Amendment) Regulations, 2008  provide that with effect from November 1st 2013 the maximum operating height for all vehicles in Ireland is 4.65 metres unless otherwise permitted by law.  

The enforcement of road traffic legislation, including legislation relating to vehicle heights, is the responsibility of An Garda Síochána, and I will relay the Deputy's concerns to the Minister for Justice, Equality and Defence.
