Under the Road Traffic Acts and the Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) Regulations, 1997, the granting of a disabled person's parking permit is a matter for the prescribed issuing authorities i.e. local authorities, the Irish Wheelchair Association and the Disabled Drivers Association of Ireland. It is my understanding that no local authority currently issues permits under the scheme and my Department does not receive detailed information relating to permits issued by the Irish Wheelchair Association or the Disabled Drivers Association of Ireland.
