The operation and oversight of commercial vehicle roadworthiness inspections at the roadside or at operator's premises is the statutory responsibility of the Road Safety Authority. I have therefore referred the Deputy’s question to the Authority for direct reply.

I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.
