Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2023-02-01
============================================================

Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South

This amendment represents a small but valuable change to clarify the role of TII with regard to maintenance. I am proposing to replace the words "maintenance works" with “maintenance (including maintenance works)” as well as providing for TII to consult the Garda Commissioner, as required, with regard to traffic signs. The change from "maintenance works" to “maintenance (including maintenance works)” is based on legal considerations that the new wording would more fully capture the range of activities that could be covered by what we might generally think of as maintenance. It may seem a small matter but I am assured that, in legal terms, the new wording is more appropriate.
