I am informed that local Garda management are not aware of any incidents of illegal parking in the areas concerned. The locations named facilitate parking of heavy goods vehicles and there are no restrictions as to what type of vehicle may park there.

I am further informed that local residents have raised this issue at meetings attended by local Garda management and have been similarly informed. I understand residents have been advised to contact gardaí should they have any complaints in respect of the manner of parking in the locations given.

I am assured the area will continue to receive regular mobile and beat patrols with a view to ensuring that parking regulations are complied with.
