Question:153 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Transport the details of his recently announced intention to introduce height restrictions for heavy goods vehicles; the timetable in this regard; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23466/02]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 98, 129 and 153 together.
Arising from diverse concerns, including those on road and rail safety and the future access to Dublin Port, my Department is drawing up proposals to regulate for the maximum height of vehicles. It is my intention that consultations will take place with all interested parties on the proposals with a view to settling an appropriate maximum height for vehicles.
