Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

I intend to introduce these regulations as soon as possible.The Office of the Attorney General has been working on a draft of the regulations in question, and I understand that good progress has been made.  I would be cautious about predicting a precise date for completion.  However, I hope that the process of drafting will be completed very soon, and I can assure the Deputy that I intend to sign the regulations into law as soon as they are ready.
