NTA: Laws to regulate rickshaws are unworkable

The National Transport Authority says that legislation passed by the Dáil to regulate rickshaws is unworkable.

The organisation does not believe it would be able to legally enforce regulations introduced under the wording of the new law.

Section 31 of the Road Traffic Act, 2016 gave the NTA the legal powers to make regulations governing the use of “non-motorised passenger transporters in towns and cities.” The section was introduced to the legislation as an amendment proposed by Sinn Féin.
