Amharc ar fhreagraAn examination in my Department of the present road traffic legislative provisions indicates that there is no legislative provision to exclusively reserve parking on a specified public roads in the vicinity of Croke Park on match days and other major event days. The calls to reserve parking to local residents, whether in the context of match and event days at stadia or under other circumstances, is a very complex matter. The issue has been referred to the Office of the Attorney General and the matter will be considered further when advice is received on the issue.
