Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 May 2026
360. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Transport the current charges applied for towing vehicles to car pounds and daily storage fees; whether the €250 tow-away charge has been reviewed or increased in recent years;and if any changes to these charges are under consideration. [37164/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to advise the Deputy that the removal and storage of vehicles (including towing to car pounds) is an operational matter for local authorities. Similarly, vehicle towing and storage charges are not set by my Department but are a matter for local authorities as well. There are no proposals currently under consideration at national level to standardise or amend them. However, local authorities may continue to review fees as part of ongoing contract management and service delivery considerations.
