Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 June 2021
231. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Transport the estimated additional revenue that would be generated if the penalty to release vehicles seized under the Road Traffic Act 2016 was doubled based on 2019 figures. [30723/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department cannot provide an estimate on the revenue generated from the release of seized vehicles.
All charges due for the detention, removal and storage of a seized vehicle must be paid in full at a nominated Garda Compound before the vehicle can be released.
My Department does not have access to these figures, as Garda operational matters fall under the remit of the Department of Justice.
