619. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the action the Road Safety Authority has taken to investigate possible breaches of regulation 10 of the European Communities (Road Transport) (Organisation of Working Time of Persons Performing Mobile Road Transport Activities) Regulations 2012 (SI No. 36/2012) by a company (details supplied), which may constitute a serious risk to road safety, for both hauliers and other road users, in view of the levels of fatigue which drivers experience when forced to work in conditions, such as are currently in place by the company.

This is a matter for the Road Safety Authority. I have therefore referred the question to the Authority for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not be received within 10 days.
