All legislative provision concerning construction and maintenance of orders are in force apart from section 60 of the Civil Liability Act, 1961. This section would provide that a road authority shall be liable for damage caused as a result of their failure to maintain adequately a public road. I wish to refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No. 36 of 9 March 1989 of the Official Report — columns 440-441 — regarding the reasons for the section not being brought into operation.
