Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)

It has not been brought to my attention that there is a difficulty with storage of vehicles. When gardaí impound vehicles and take in vehicles that have been involved in road traffic accidents, they must have locations for their storage. To the best of my knowledge they are able to manage this. Indeed, I was involved in a case in Donegal in which a circus lorry was retained for a significant period as evidence. Its retention caused extreme difficulty for the circus owner, even though the lorry was somewhat peripheral to the accident. Thankfully, it worked out in the end.
