Question:

224. Deputy Michael Lowry asked the Minister for Transport if, in the context of the campaign to improve the availability and quality of parking bays for disabled users, he has plans to ensure that disability parking bays are provided in line with international best standards, as set out in Building For Everyone: A Universal Design Approach (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Transport (Deputy Hildegarde Naughton)

I refer to the representation received by the Deputy from the Friends to Mobility/Disability Impaired, concerning the survey they carried out on the condition of disability parking facilities in his constituency.

As the provision of disability parking bays is a matter for each local authority the issues raised should be brought to the attention of the relevant county council for action as appropriate.
