I have been informed by the Garda authorities that under the Road Traffic (Construction, Equipment and Use of Vehicle) Regulations 1991 members of the Garda Síochána are not required to wear a seat belt. However, Garda regulations require that all occupants of official vehicles wear their seat belts except in exceptional circumstances.
