RULES FOR THE USE OF COMPANY VEHICLES


               A)      DRIVING LICENCE AND AUTHORITY TO DRIVE COMPANY VEHICLES

               1.      You  must  be  in  possession  of  a  current  driving  licence  and  have  the  General  Manager’s
                       authority to drive one of our vehicles.

               2.      Your driving licence must be produced for scrutiny by  the General Manager prior to driving
                       any of our vehicles.  It is your responsibility to provide us with copies of renewed licences.

               3.      If  at  any  time  your  licence  is  endorsed,  or  you  are  disqualified  from  driving,  we  must  be
                       informed immediately.

               4.      It is your responsibility to see that the vehicle is not used by anyone other than authorised
                       employees.  Special written permission must be obtained from the General Manager for the
                       vehicle to be used by any other person.

               5.      Company vehicles are for business use only. There is no personal use allowed.

               B)      FIXTURES, FITTINGS AND MODIFICATIONS

               1.      No fixtures such as aerials, roof racks, towing apparatus, stickers, may be attached to the
                       vehicle  without  prior  written  permission.    When  handing  the  vehicle  back  to  us  such
                       attachments must remain unless adequate rectification work is carried out professionally to
                       restore the vehicle to its former condition.

               2.      No  change  or  alterations  may  be  made  to  the  manufacturer's  mechanical  or  structural
                       specification for the vehicle.

               C)      DRIVING WHILST INTOXICATED

                       You are not permitted under any circumstances to operate or drive a Company vehicle, either
                       during  working  hours  or  on  personal  time,  under  the  influence  of  any  intoxicant.  Whether
                       inside or outside working time you must abide by the Company rules of use for this Vehicle.
                       This is an express condition of your employment and if you are found to be in breach of the
                       Company usage policy it will result in disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.

               D)      WARRANTY

                       All warranty work must be reported to us prior to it being carried out.

               E)      CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

               1.      As  the  vehicle  has  been  allocated  to  you,  it  is  your  responsibility  to  keep  it  clean  both
                       internally and externally, and to ensure that the vehicle is regularly serviced in accordance
                       with the requirements laid down by the manufacturer, and as specified in the maintenance
                       book of the particular model of vehicle.

               2.      Any  other  maintenance  or  repair  work  or  replacement  of  parts,  including  tyres,  must  be
                       approved in advance by us.

               F)      SMOKING POLICY

                       There  is  a  statutory  ban  on  smoking  in  Company  premises,  including  Company  vehicles
                       which must be observed at all times.  Current legislation imposes a €3,000 fine on employers
                       whose  employees  smoke  in  an  enclosed  work  environment  including  Company  vehicles.
                       Breaches of the Company smoking policy will result in disciplinary action up to and including
                       dismissal.
