Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 September 2022
174. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Transport the penalties that are in place for motorists who park illegally in taxi ranks; if additional measures or an awareness campaign on this issue is planned; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42166/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraRegulation 36(2)(e) of the Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) Regulations 1997 (SI 182 of 1997), prohibits a vehicle from parking in an appointed taxi stand. Motorists who park illegally in an appointed taxi stand may incur a fixed charge notice of €40, rising to €60 if not paid within 28 days.
My department keeps these charges under constant review and may intervene to impose an increase where it is deemed appropriate.
As with all parking offences, enforcement is a matter for An Garda Síochána and traffic wardens.
