Provisions for the designation of parking bays on public roads that are reserved for use by persons who hold a disabled persons' parking permit and the granting of such permits are set out in the Road Traffic (Signs) Regulations 1997 (S.I. 181/97) and the Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) Regulations, 1997 (S.I. 182/97). A review of all aspects of this disabled persons' parking scheme is ongoing in my Department with a view to ensuring that the designated parking bays are reserved for use by persons for whom those bays are a necessity.
