asked the Minister for Local Government if he will take steps, if necessary by the introduction of legislation, to ensure that all tractors using public roads are fitted with a crash-bar to protect the driver in the event of the vehicle overturning.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Tractor Crash-Bars.
8.
Under section 11 of the Road Traffic Act, 1961, equipment for vehicles used in a public place may be prescribed by regulation and the question of prescribing a crash-bar or safety frame to protect the driver in the event of a tractor overturning is at present being examined by my Department.
Could the Minister say when he thinks this examination will be completed?
Very shortly.
