Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 May 2026
359. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Transport the total revenue generated from clamp release fees by local authorities in each of the past five years; the number of vehicles clamped annually over the same period; and whether his Department has assessed whether the increased fee of €125 has had a measurable impact on parking compliance. [37163/26]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that, in 2017, the National Transport Authority (NTA) assumed responsibility as the regulator for vehicle clamping activities in statutory and non-statutory (privately-owned) clamping areas throughout the State. It is responsible for the regulation of clamping activities, administration of second-stage vehicle clamping appeals and the investigation of complaints.
In light of the NTA's role, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the Authority for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
