As you will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána, including the enforcement of road traffic legislation. As Minister for Justice, I have no direct role in these matters.
I understand that the "Q District" referred to by the Deputy relates to Dublin Metropolitan Region (DMR) West Division, Lucan District. Lucan District comprises of Lucan and Ronanstown Garda stations.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that the table below provides a yearly breakdown of the number of vehicles seized by Gardaí in the Q District for having no insurance in 2023, and to date in 2024.
