310. Deputy Eamon Ryan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if the Garda national roads policing bureau and the Director of Public Prosecutions communicated with his Department in May 2015 on SI 332 of 2012 which removed the legal obligation on cyclists to use certain cycle facilities; and if so, the reason for these communications. [17292/17]
View answerThe Garda National Roads Policing Bureau (GNRPB) communicated with my Department in May 2015 in relation to SI 332 of 2012. This communication referenced advice received by the GNRPB from the Director of Public Prosecutions.
The reason for this communication arose due to work by my Department and the GNRPB on the introduction of fixed charge notices for certain cycling offences, including offences relating to cycle tracks.
