Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 March 2022
563. Deputy Pauline Tully asked the Minister for Justice the number of vehicles seized by An Garda Síochána for having no tax under section 41(C) of the Road Traffic Act 1994 in 2021 and to date in 2022, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [16122/22]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the administration and management of An Garda Síochána, including the recording of traffic offences, collisions and seizures of vehicles. As Minister, I have no direct role in these matters.
For the Deputy's information, the table below, which has been provided to me by the Garda authorities, sets out the number of vehicles seized for having no tax under section 41(C) of the Road Traffic Act 1994 for 2021 and to date in 2022.
