547.

​I note that the Deputy asked my predecessor about this case on 26 January last. The facts of the matter have not changed since.

Section 87 of the Road Traffic Act 2010, as amended, provides exemptions from certain provisions of the Road Traffic Acts for members of the emergency services, including An Garda Síochána, in the course of their duties. I have no proposals to extend the exemptions already provided to any organisation or individual outside of those already provided for.
