I refer the Deputy to my replies to Questions No. 3 on 28 September 2006 and No. 301 on 4 October 2006 on this subject.

The issue of reserving parking on public roads to local residents is complex and is much broader than in the context of match days at Croke Park stadium. An implementation timeframe does not arise at this point because the legal issue that must first be established is whether or not it would be appropriate to provide for the application of parking restrictions of this nature on a public road.

The matter has been referred to the Attorney General for advice.
