Road traffic legislation
Deputy Broughan asks about the road traffic Bill, Garda traffic-corps legislation and related social insurance provisions. Minister Howlin says the road traffic Bill is scheduled for next year and may be published earlier, but is unaware of promised social insurance legislation.
When can we expect to see the road traffic Bill? Is it intended that there will be further legislation relating to the Garda traffic corps? I understand a training course was organised yesterday.

The course dealt with the use of intoxilysers but no gardaí attended. Will there be further legislation relating to the traffic corps? Is it intended to have further legislation relating to the social insurance fund?

The road traffic Bill is on the schedule for next year. I understand from the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport that he is hopeful that it might be published before the end of this year. The heads of the Bill have not yet come to the Government. I am unaware of any promised legislation relating to the social insurance fund.
