I am informed by the Garda authorities that on 22 November 2005 there were 33 vehicles parked at the location mentioned. Four vehicles had no tax displayed and an additional four vehicles had no tax or insurance certificate displayed. Fines on the spot notices are issued to unattended cars that are not displaying current tax discs. Any such vehicles when found to be in use at the location are seized under section 41 of the Road Traffic Act 1994. The location receives regular and ongoing attention from both mobile and foot patrols.
