Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

As I said earlier, to the best of my knowledge confiscation of a car is one of the actions open to the Garda Síochána. It is not the only action but the legalities of what the Deputy is suggesting would need to be examined. A garda can confiscate a car where an individual has been found to be driving without insurance. I agree with this, subject to the legalities involved.
