In so far as insurance under the Road Traffic Act, 1961, is concerned, Córas Iompair Éireann, being an exempted person within the meaning of section 60 of the Act, is not obliged to have compulsory insurance cover for the use of its vehicles. In effect it carries its own insurance against the type of liability contemplated under that Act.
