The €35 charge for the Disabled Parking Permit is set by the issuing bodies (the Disabled Drivers Association of Ireland and the Irish Wheelchair Association). The purpose of this fee is, firstly, to cover the administrative costs of processing applications and producing permits and, secondly, to allow for investment in improving the security features of the card.
