Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 February 2026
363. Deputy Eoin Hayes asked the Minister for Transport if he will introduce a code of practice for parking operators as exists in other jurisdictions (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9877/26]
View answerAs Minister of State with responsibility for International and Road Transport, Logistics, Rail and Ports, I wish to advise that my regulatory powers apply only to public roads and public car parks.
The code of conduct the Deputy refers to was developed by the British Parking Association, a representative body for the parking and mobility sector, not a government agency. Private parking matters, including the design, operation and enforcement of parking, fall outside the remit of road traffic legislation. The Deputy may wish to contact the Irish Parking Association for further information on the Association’s existing code of conduct.
