Exemptions from certain provisions of road traffic legislation are provided for emergency service first responders under section 87 of the Road Traffic Act 2010, as amended.  These exemptions apply to members of the Garda Síochána, the fire brigade and the ambulance services. 

I have no plans to extend these exemptions to any other groups.
