Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 12 May 2005
52 Mr. O’Shea asked the Minister for Transport if a heavy goods vehicle that recently overturned at a junction on the M50, causing massive traffic disruption, was unlicensed; if he has satisfied that the current level of supervision and checking of such vehicles is adequate; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15561/05]
View answerIf the Deputy could let me have the registration number of the vehicle in question, I will advise whether the vehicle is covered by a road freight carrier's licence issued by my Department. Enforcement of road freight carrier licensing is undertaken by both my Department and the Garda Síochána while enforcement of the vehicle safety requirements of the Road Traffic Acts is a matter for the Garda Síochána.
