Under the Road Traffic (Lighting of Vehicles) Regulations 1963 to 1996, amber flashing lights are permitted on patrol vehicles used by the Customs Service and on a number of categories of stationery or slow moving vehicles but not agricultural tractors. I am, however, open to amending the regulations to permit the fitting and use of amber flashing lights on agricultural tractors, subject to consultation with the Garda Síochána and farm organisations.
