Question 222: To ask the Minister for Transport if he will amend the Roads Bill 2007 to reflect the wishes of the residents of the Croke Park area who are seeking residents only parking permits on the occasion of big match and other major event days; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The imposition of restrictions and prohibitions on parking on public roads is a complex matter and legal advice was sought in this regard from the Office of the Attorney General. I have included a section in the Roads Bill 2007, which is now before the Houses, to deal with this matter. It will empower local councils to make bye-laws for the application of restrictions and prohibitions on parking in areas (such as around the environs of Croke Park) when specified events such as a sporting or entertainment events are being held.
