Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 January 2019
901. Deputy Noel Grealish asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his plans to introduce legislation that would result in driving disqualifications for persons convicted of illegal dumping while using a vehicle; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [54357/18]
View answerDriving disqualifications under road traffic law are imposed to address serious breaches of that law from a road safety perspective. To introduce such a sanction for non-road safety related offences, such as using a mechanically propelled vehicle in the course of illegal dumping activities, would not be in the interests of promoting the safe use of our roads.
