Under the Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) Regulations, 1997 the granting of a disabled person's parking permit is a matter for local authorities, the Irish Wheelchair Association and the Disabled Drivers Association. The scheme relates to a person who is suffering from a disability that is of a nature that prevents him or her from walking or causes undue hardship to the person in walking. There are no proposals to extend the application of the disabled persons parking permit scheme to include persons who are not mobility impaired.
