Written answers

Minister for Transport

The Irish Motor Insurance Database (IMID), provides a single reference point for motor vehicles insured in Ireland. The IMID is operated by the Motor Insurers' Bureau of Ireland (MIBI). MIBI is responsible for the implementation and management of the IMID.

Access to the IMID, and the data contained within it, by members of An Garda Siochana is a matter for the Department of Justice and MIBI.
