Vol. 449 No. 4

Written Answers - Seat Belts in School Buses.

Eamon Walsh

Question:

99 Mr. E. Walsh asked the Minister for the Environment the plans, if any, he has to introduce regulations requiring seat belts to be worn in mini buses and coaches used in transporting children to school; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3880/95]

The law on this matter, which conforms to the relevant EU Directive, is contained in the Road Traffic (Construction, Equipment and Use of Vehicles) (Amendment) (No. 3) Regulations, 1991 (S.I. No. 359 of 1991). Enforcement is a matter for the gardaí. I have no proposals to introduce new regulations.
