All local traffic and parking temporary rules made, with my consent, by the Commissioner of the Garda Síoch na under the Road Traffic Acts include a requirement that a container, such as a refuse skip, cannot be left on a roadway or on a footway during lighting-up hours unless it is so lighted as to be clearly visible and does not cause danger to road users. The adequacy of existing controls on the deposit of refuse skips will be reviewed in the context of a Road Traffic Bill which I hope to bring before the Dáil in the second half of 1986.
