Written answers

Minister for Justice and Equality

As the Deputy will appreciate, I have no role in relation to the interpretation of the law. I am, however, informed that the relevant provisions are set out in section 9 of the Road Traffic Act 2010, as amended by section 7 of the Road Traffic (No.2) Act 2011.
