On 20 March last, I signed an Order commencing sections 9 and 14 to 26 with immediate effect.  Under the same order, sections 3 to 5, 7 and 8 are commenced from 1 August 2014.  

It is my intention to commence the remaining sections as soon as practicable.  My Department is engaging with the bodies which will have responsibility for implementation - An Garda Síochána, the Road Safety Authority and the Medical Bureau of Road Safety - with a view to ensuring that the necessary measures are in place to implement the remaining sections.  I will commence them once this is the case.
