‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Motor Accidents Involving Death. Joyriding and road-law enforcement
Summary
Allen asked whether the Road Traffic Act amendment had reduced joyriding. Kavanagh said his Department’s role was to update fines, while the issue of enforcement belonged to the Minister for Justice.
Would the Minister agree that the amendment to the Road Traffic Act has done very little to eliminate the incidence of joyriding or has he any views on the matter?
Comment on this
My Department deal with legislation under the Road Traffic Acts and my ability was to bring the fines up to modern day levels. The problem referred to by the Deputy comes within the scope of another Department.
