I am informed by the Garda authorities that the area referred to by the Deputy is within Clontarf Garda sub-District. Local Garda management is aware of the issue referred to by the Deputy. In 2001 Dublin City Council introduced bye-laws prohibiting all vehicles, whose unladen weight is 3 tonnes or over, from parking on street within the Council administrative area, except at designated locations. The nearest designated area to this location is Greencastle Parade/Newtown Industrial Estate, Coolock. I am further informed that these bye-laws are enforced by An Garda Síochána, including local District and Divisional personnel as well as the Divisional and Regional Traffic Corps, and the area is monitored to ensure that there are no breaches of road traffic and transport legislation. Any breaches of road traffic and transport legislation that are detected are dealt with appropriately.
