Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 January 2024
269. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Transport the number of cross-Border driving bans that the RSA has sought to enforce through the courts since 1 January 2020 to date in 2024; the number of such bans that have actually been enforced; the status of each case to date; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1299/24]
View answerUnder section 40 of the Road Traffic Act 2016, when the Road Safety Authority (RSA) is notified of a driving disqualification of an Irish licence holder for an offence committed in the United Kingdom, it must apply to an Irish court to give effect to the UK disqualification in Ireland. I have referred the Deputy's enquiry to the RSA for direct reply in regards the statistical aspect as this information is held by the Authority.
