As the Deputy may know, tractors may be driven on the motorway so long as they are capable of maintaining a minimum speed of 50km/h. My Department has no plans to amend the current legislation.

Although my Department legislates for tractor use on motorways, the enforcement of road traffic legislation is a matter for An Garda Síochána.
