76. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide an update on the implementation of the statutory instrument for dangerous overtaking of cyclists since its introduction in November 2019 (details supplied); if he will outline the training received by gardaí on the 2019 legislation; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

My role as Minister for Transport is to introduce legislation that will save lives and make Irish roads safer for everyone, most especially more vulnerable road users such as cyclists and pedestrians.

The day-to-day enforcement of such legislation, including the nature of the training received by enforcement agents, lies outside of the remit of my Department and is a matter for An Garda Síochána.
