Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 December 2004
67 Mr. Gormley asked the Minister for Transport if he has plans to legislate for the mandatory use of daytime running lights outside built-up areas in view of the experience in other countries in which this measure has yielded a significant reduction in certain types of accident. [32399/04]
View answerThe European Commission is currently considering how best to implement daytime running lights, DRL, following the comprehensive study of the matter carried out on its behalf by the Dutch SWOV and TNO and the Norwegian institute for traffic studies. I will await the outcome of the Commission's consideration of the matter before making any decision regarding DRL in Ireland.
