Vol. 411 No. 4
154 Mr. Bell asked the Minister for Justice if he will outline the plans he has to transfer the operation of public service vehicle inspection to the Department of the Environment to be operated by local authorities in line with decentralising policy and with a view to releasing the manpower involved for more relevant police work; the number of gardaí, by rank engaged in this work over the past five years in each division; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
I have no plans for the transfer of public service vehicle inspection to the Department of the Environment.
