Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

As the Deputy may be aware, my Department and the office of the Attorney General liaised extensively in recent months to finalise regulations in this area. As a result, Leo Varadkar T.D., my predecessor as Minister for Transport, Tourism & Sport signed Statutory Instruments 325 and 330 of 2014 on July 8th last.  

Statutory Instrument 325 of 2014 provides for parking arrangements for electronically charged vehicles and car clubs while Statutory Instrument 330 of 2014 relates to the required signage for these issues.
