Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 October 2006
256 Dr. Fitzpatrick asked the Minister for Transport when he expects to bring forward proposals to review residents only parking arrangements around Croke Park and other stadia; if he will have a public consultation on the matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33481/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraI refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No. 442 of 10 October 2006 on this subject.
The issue of reserving parking on public roads to local residents is complex and is much broader than in the context of match days at Croke Park or other stadia. The legal issue that must first be established is whether or not it would be appropriate to provide for the application of parking restrictions of this nature on a public road. The matter has been referred to the Attorney General for advice and a response is awaited.
