I was offered a C.B. set-up a while ago but turned it down, although it's still available if I want it as it's taking up room in my brother's garage.
If there's a few people with them I might get it but the question is, as it's illegal to use mobile 'phones when on the move, where do we stand with C.B.'s?
I would imagine that it's the same.
Just seen the previous posting. Same question.0 -

According to the RSA Website the law states it is a offence (TO HOLD A MOBILE PHONE WHEN DRIVEING) no mention of anything else,,,,so it seems its OK to use a CB Radio.........and knowing the shower of muppets running the country it was probably a oversight not to include,,,,,and when they realise the error it will cost 3456862828.000000000000 hundred million euro to add it into the Legislation Document....:)

I can't get the link to work. But I found this in the Irish Statue Book, Road Traffic Act 2006. I can't make out if it's illegal or not3.— (1) A person shall not while driving a mechanically propelled vehicle in a public place hold a mobile phone.
(2) Subsection (1) does not apply to a member of the Garda Síochána, an ambulance service or a fire brigade of a fire authority (within the meaning of the Fire Services Act 1981 ) who is acting in the course of his or her duties and holding a mobile phone in relation to the performance of his or her duties.
(3) A person who contravenes subsection (1) is guilty of an offence.
(4) The Minister may, to avoid the impairment or interference with the driving capacity or capabilities of the driver of a mechanically propelled vehicle, make regulations in relation to the restriction or prohibition in mechanically propelled vehicles in public places of the use of—
(a) a mobile phone (other than in the circumstances referred to in subsection (1)),
(b) an in-vehicle communication device,
(c) information equipment, or
(d) entertainment equipment.
BTW the RSA site and ROTR aren't law they are only an interpretation of the law0 -

Hi, Just clicked on the link and it worked fine. The piece that you have quoted is, I think, from the same Traffic Act. If you find your link again just look at the bottom of the page. 0 -
