1837. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason island residents in the Aran islands with commercially owned vehicles kept permanently on the mainland were not afforded free parking places in Ros a ’Mhíl harbour on the same basis that island residents with privately owned vehicles were; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Permit parking is being provided at Ros an Mhíl Fishery Harbour Centre for persons whose normal place of residence is on the Aran Islands following consultation with the three Island Committee Representative Groups and their desire to have islander access to the Fishery Harbour Centre car park facility. This replaces a car park operated under licence until 2021 by the Committees on behalf of the islanders. As is the case with any such car park, charges apply and spaces cannot be guaranteed for any individual user. Information on the permit process can be found online at: gov.ie - Application forms for Car Park Permit – Ros an Mhíl (www.gov.ie)
Other parking spaces in the car park will continue to be available as a public car park at ordinary parking rates with further privately operated car parking facilities available in the immediate vicinity.
