Vol. 402 No. 5
130 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Justice if he will bring to the attention of the Garda the persistent problem of unauthorised parking of heavy vehicles at a site (details supplied) in Dublin 1 despite the fact that complaints have been made to the Garda stations responsible and no apparent or effective action seems to have been taken.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that a complaint was received by the Garda Síochána on 16 October, 1990 from Deputy Gregory about the alleged illegal parking of a truck in the area in question. This matter was attended to by the gardaí and it transpired that a truck had broken down and that emergency repairs to it had to be carried out on the street.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that the area is subject to regular Garda attention and that a number of parking law violations involving trucks have been detected in recent weeks and dealt with by the issue of fine-on-the-spot notices. The Garda authorities have informed me that the owner of some of the trucks concerned has also been advised by the gardaí to find alternative parking facilities for his vehicles.
