Mayo gardaí seeking site to park detained vehicles

A planning application has been made Mayo County Council on behalf of An Garda Siochána for the provision of a site to store and park vehicles under Section 41 of the Road Traffic Act.

The legislation in question empowers the force to detain a vehicle where it is suspected a person is driving illegally.

The application - a section 5 declaration - has been submitted by MDS Commercial Centre Europe in respect of a site at Breaffy Road Business Park in Castlebar.

A decision will be made within the coming months.
