28. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will examine increasing the penalty fees for persons parking in disabled parking bays; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10708/21]

My predecessor raised the penalty for parking in a disabled bay without displaying a valid permit from €80 to €150 in March 2018.

While I cannot condone the selfish and irresponsible practice of a certain cohort of motorists parking unlawfully in disabled bays, I believe that the current level of penalty is proportional to the offence, and I have no plans to increase it at this time.
