The issues of parking enforcement and clamping are not matters, either generally or specifically, that fall within my area of responsibility as Minister for Health and Children.
However, given the issue raised by the Deputy, it is important that the matter should be considered in the context of all relevant factors. Accordingly, I am referring the matter to the Eastern Health Board, being the appropriate body for matters relating to service provision in the Dublin area, for its consideration and such follow-up action, as it thinks appropriate, including discussions with Dublin Corporation.
I understand the Irish Medical Organisation raised the matter with Dublin Corporation around the time clamping was introduced and also recently met officials of the Department of the Environment and Local Government. I will liaise with my colleague, the Minister for Environment and Local Government, with a view to resolving any service issues which have arisen.
