As indicated in reply to Question No. 319 on 17 November 2004, the Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) Regulations 1997 empower local authorities, the Irish Wheelchair Association and the Disabled Drivers Association to grant a disabled person's parking permit when they are satisfied that the applicant is suffering from a disability that prevents him or her from walking or causes undue hardship to the person in walking. The qualifying criterion is, therefore, that of impaired mobility as stated above and no specific medical condition that gives rise to such impairment is stipulated.
