Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 June 2020
374. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Justice and Equality his views on whether it is appropriate for haulage companies to charge for the release of vehicles that have been impounded after accidents on request of gardaí; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9199/20]
View answerI understand that the Deputy refers to charges by private haulage companies. This is not a matter within my remit as Minister for Justice and Equality.
I understand that legislation underpinning the impounding of vehicles is the responsibility of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, and the Deputy may wish in the first instance to consult that Department on the general issues raised.
