Róisín Shortall (Dublin North West, Labour)

It was not registered under this person's operator's licence. I am concerned that the legislation covering the area of registration is outdated. Can the Minister confirm that the 1932 Act has not been updated? The penalties involved would not act as a deterrent. A penalty of €70 for contravening the Act highlights the need to update the legislation urgently.

Is the Minister aware whether the back wheels of the vehicle involved came off during or after the crash? Can he provide specific information on when the roadworthiness test was carried out and how often such vehicles must undergo a roadworthiness test?
