Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 27 May 2004
175 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Transport if he proposes to compensate motorists likely to be penalised for the use of privately provided car parking spaces arising from recent suggestions from the DTO; if a commencement reduction in road tax is likely to be considered; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16084/04]
View answerI have no proposals before me regarding a restriction on private parking in Dublin. I understand the Dublin Transportation Office, DTO, is currently undertaking a travel demand management study which is looking at a range of measures to encourage the greater use of public transport in the greater Dublin area. This study is expected to be completed later this year. It is too early, at this stage, to pre-empt the recommendations that will arise from the report.
