Road Traffic Bill 2004: Committee Stage.
2:00 pm
Diarmuid Wilson (Fianna Fail)
People use designated disabled parking spaces because such spaces are always in the most convenient location in terms of the associated destination. I agree with my colleagues that such behaviour is disgraceful. The fine could never be too high. I would not afford anybody who parks illegally in a designated space the opportunity of getting away with a penalty point. Such people should be prosecuted and, to borrow the phrase of the Fine Gael Members, "named and shamed" in court. That is what they deserve.
