‘Under-regulated’ clamping industry to be reviewed

THEY might be the arch-enemy of every motorist but clampers are set to have their own powers fettered in the near future.

Transport Minister Leo Varadkar has confirmed that he will shortly be bringing forward new legislation to regulate the clamping industry as promised under the Programme for Government.

Mr Varadkar described the system for clamping on private property as “under-regulated, bad for motorists and bad for business”.
