asked the Minister for the Environment if he will make an order amending the regulations to raise the legal maximum height of road traffic signals, to enable traffic lights to be provided on the Naas dual-carriageway at Rathcoole, County Dublin.

Provision of traffic lights is the responsibility of road authorities with the consent of, or at the request of, the Garda Commissioner. I understand that Dublin County Council propose to provide traffic lights at the location to which the Deputy refers. I have not received any representations regarding amendment of the Road Traffic (Signs) Regulations in relation to this matter.

Question No. 10 is for written reply.
