Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 24 September 2025
115. Deputy Paul Donnelly asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration the number of vehicles seized by Gardai in each district within Dublin region for having no insurance in each of the first eight months of 2025, in tabular form. [50633/25]
View answerI am informed by the Garda Authorities that the table below provides a monthly breakdown per Garda division of the number of vehicles seized by Gardaí in the Dublin region for having no insurance in the first eight months of 2025.
These figures are based on incidents occurring from 1 January 2025 to 31 August 2025, inclusive. All information contained in this report is based upon operational data from the PULSE system as was available on 22 September 2025 and is liable to change.
Vehicles seized or detained relate to those detained under Section 41 of the Road Traffic Act.
I am informed that the figures supplied are complemented by the ability Gardaí to interrogate the Irish Motorist Insurance Database along with the National Fleet Database on their mobility devices to establish up to date insurance details for all vehicle types. The use of both databases and the up to date information supplied on a nightly basis, provides a high level of confidence to operational Gardaí when faced with a decision to seize a vehicle.
