Under regulation 36 of the Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) Regulations 1997 (S.I. No. 182 of 1997), it is illegal to park on a grass margin.

A grass margin is defined in the regulations as 'that portion of a public road situated on either side of a footway and which is provided for the growing of grass, trees or shrubbery of any kind.'

Enforcement of road traffic regulations in relation to illegal parking is a matter for both the local authority concerned and An Garda Síochána.
