Vol. 440 No. 4

Written Answers. - Disabled Persons' Car Stickers.

Seán Haughey

Question:

145 Mr. Haughey asked the Minister for the Environment the effect, if any, of having disabled persons car stickers displayed on a car; and the entitlements associated with this facility.

Local traffic and parking by-laws or temporary rules made by the Garda Commissioner under sections 89 and 90 of the Road Traffic Act, 1961, provide that parking permits for disabled drivers may be granted by a local authority to a person who is suffering from a permanent disability that prevents the person from walking or causes undue hardship to the person in walking.

Holders of disabled drivers' permits are exempt from certain parking controls, in particular the requirement to pay on-street parking charges. In addition, certain local authorities exempt permit holders from the requirement to pay charges in local authority car parks.
