I propose to take Questions Nos. 98, 129 and 153 together.
Arising from diverse concerns, including those on road and rail safety and the future access to Dublin Port, my Department is drawing up proposals to regulate for the maximum height of vehicles. It is my intention that consultations will take place with all interested parties on the proposals with a view to settling an appropriate maximum height for vehicles.
