247. Deputy Aidan Farrelly asked the Minister for Transport if he will provide the outcome of all appeals made to the NTA in respect of vehicle clamping to date in 2026 (details supplied). [54451/26]

As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport; however, I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of public transport.

On the 1st October, 2017, the NTA assumed responsibilities as the regulator of vehicle clamping activities in both statutory and non-statutory (privately-owned) clamping places throughout the State. They are responsible for the regulation of clamping activities, administration of second-stage vehicle clamping appeals, and investigation of complaints.

In light of the NTA's responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
