Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 4 December 2025
186. Deputy Malcolm Byrne asked the Minister for Transport the current measures available to local authorities to address unlawful parking in disabled parking spots; if he will consider further measures; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [68955/25]
View answerI wish to inform the Deputy that regulations are currently in place in relation to unlawful parking in disabled parking bays.
It is an offence to park in a disabled parking bay without a disabled parking permit and a fixed charge notice of €150 may be issued for this offence. In addition, the use of a parking permit by a person who is not the permit holder, and which is not for the convenience of the holder, may incur a fixed charge notice of €200.
Enforcement of parking regulations is a matter for An Garda Síochána and local authorities.
