About one in every 15 vehicles using Irish roads last year was uninsured, figures from the Motor Insurers’ Bureau of Ireland (Mibi) show, prompting calls for an enforcement system to be established.

At the end of last year, there was a total of 211,371 uninsured or unregistered vehicles operating in Ireland — representing approximately 6.5% of the vehicle fleet.
