342 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when the Garda Commissioner's office will issue its decision on the placement of taxi ranks within the Letterkenny UDC area in view of the fact that the matter has been with his office for the past six months; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15022/99]
I am informed by the Garda authorities that the Commissioner has made draft by-laws under section 84 of the Road Traffic Act, 1961, as amended by section 6 of the Road Traffic Act, 1968 to provide for appointed stands in the Letterkenny UDC area. The draft was sent by the Garda to the Attorney General for his approval oh 13 May 1999. When the draft by-laws are approved by the Attorney General the by-laws will be signed by the Commissioner and forwarded to the Minister for the Environment and Local Government for his consent.
