901. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his plans to introduce legislation that would result in driving disqualifications for persons convicted of illegal dumping while using a vehicle; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [54357/18]

Driving disqualifications under road traffic law are imposed to address serious breaches of that law from a road safety perspective. To introduce such a sanction for non-road safety related offences, such as using a mechanically propelled vehicle in the course of illegal dumping activities, would not be in the interests of promoting the safe use of our roads.
