I move: That it be an instruction to the Committee on the Road Transport Bill, 1985, that it has power to make provision in the Bill for the appointment by the Minister for Communications of transport officers to undertake inspectorial duties under the Road Transport Acts and other enactments relating to the carriage of goods by road or the carriage of passengers by omnibus or to vehicles engaged in any such carriage and for the summary prosecution of offenders under those enactments and other enactments by the Minister for Communications.
This resolution is necessary under Standing Orders to empower the Dáil to consider in Committee a text wider than it had on Second Stage. The scope of the Bill will be extended by the inclusion of the sections relating to enforcement, the subject matter of amendment Nos. 5 to 8.
