I am informed by the Garda authorities that the location referred to by the Deputy is a public place under the provisions of the Road Traffic Acts 1961 - 2006 and is patrolled by the Garda Traffic Corps.

Any incidents reported to or observed by members of An Garda Síochána in respect of the use of a vehicle in a public place are the subject of investigation, and the offender is dealt with in accordance with the law. An Garda Síochána is the sole authority vested with the investigation of such allegations.

I am also informed that the Garda authorities have been in contact with the person referred to by the Deputy and have asked him to make contact with the Inspector in charge, Divisional Traffic Unit, Santry, in order that his complaint can be fully investigated.
