Question 517: To ask the Minister for Transport the position regarding plans to provide residents only permit parking on match days in the Croke Park area; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33916/06]

I refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No. 442 of 10 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 or other stadia. 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.
