I have requested the information sought by the Deputy from the Garda authorities. Unfortunately, the information was not received in time. I will contact the Deputy directly once the information is to hand.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51.
I refer to Parliamentary Question No. 388 of 4 July 2024 where you sought: “the number of vehicles seized by gardaí for having no insurance within the K district of the DMR in 2023 and to date in 2024, in tabular form.”
You will recall that the information could not be obtained in the time available, and I undertook to consult with An Garda Síochána and contact you again when the requested information was to hand.
As you will appreciate, in accordance with the Garda Síochána Act 2005 as amended, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of Garda business. This includes enforcement of road traffic legislation. As Minister for Justice, I have no role in these matters.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that the table below provides a yearly breakdown of the number of vehicles seized by Gardaí in the K District for having no insurance in 2023, and to date in 2024.
Figures are based on incidents which occurred from 01/01/2023 to 03/07/2024, inclusive. All information is based upon operational data from the Pulse system as was available on 04/07/2024 and is liable to change.
Vehicles seized or detained relate to those detained under S41 of the Road Traffic Acts.
I trust this information is of assistance.
