Ceist:

1873. Deputy Eoghan Murphy asked the Minister for Transport; Tourism and Sport further to Parliamentary Question No. 33353/12, if he will consider the possibility of indenting footpaths where practicable to allow more space for cars to park, without disrupting the traffic flow on a road and still allowing the use of footpaths.

Local authorities currently have the power to indent pavements to allow for parking.  In correspondence I have had with local authorities, including Dublin City Council, in regard to the issue of partial parking on pavements, I have pointed out that this option exists.
