Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 April 2022
630. Deputy Peter Burke asked the Minister for Justice the total number of fines issued for cars parking illegally on footpaths in Mullingar and Athlone, County Westmeath in each of the past three months; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18341/22]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is responsible by law for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána, which includes operational policing matters such as the issuing of fines. As Minister, I have no responsibility for these matters.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that it is not possible to provide a response as the number of fines issued for cars parking illegally on footpaths in Mullingar and Athlone, County Westmeath, in each of the past three months is fewer than 10.
