Vehicle clamping legislation

Summary

Dessie Ellis asks when legislation will standardise vehicle immobilisation schemes and again seeks intervention over Margaretta D’Arcy. The Chair rules the D’Arcy issue out of order, while the Taoiseach says the clamping Bill is due this session.

There is huge inconsistency in vehicle clamping throughout the country with different management companies and local authorities operating their own schemes. The regulation of vehicle immobilisation Bill will provide some consistency in the private clamping industry. When will this be published?

I reiterate the question posed by my party leader regarding Margaretta D'Arcy.

The Deputy will not.

I ask the Minister for Justice and Equality to intervene. I acknowledge what was said about not interfering but in this case, on humanitarian grounds, will the Taoiseach please do that?

The issue will be dealt with during the Topical Issue debate.

I suggest the Deputy should take the Ceann Comhairle's advice.

The vehicle clamping Bill is due for publication this session.
