I am advised by the Garda authorities that the contract for the towing of seized vehicles in the Dublin North Central Division was awarded in 2008 to Gannon City Recovery and Recycling Services Ltd. The relevant cost of towing vehicles in 2011 amounted to €119,000. I am further advised that An Garda Síochána propose to advertise a new tender competition for the provision of this service in the near future.
