Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 January 2023
103. Deputy Brian Leddin asked the Minister for Transport if the effectiveness of increased fines for parking on footpaths and cycle lanes is being reviewed by his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2438/23]
View answerWhile my Department drafted the regulations doubling the penalties for parking on a footpath, bus lane or cycle track early last year, the enforcement of these penalties, along with the monitoring of the operational effectiveness of that enforcement, falls to local authority parking wardens and to An Garda Síochána. The Deputy may wish to bring his query to the direct attention of those bodies.
