Paschal Mooney (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I welcome the Minister to the House and compliment him on bringing forward this legislation which Fianna Fáil fully supports. The area of clamping, as the Minister has outlined, has been particularly contentious for many years, not only in respect of the provisions of this Bill, which is about private parking and in some instances public parking, but those on public roads. I was interested to hear the Minister concede that he had been clamped. I too have been clamped.
