Any organisation that transports people with disabilities can apply for a disabled parking permit. Two designated bodies, the Disabled Drivers Association of Ireland and the Irish Wheelchair Association, issue these permits on behalf of the Department of Transport and determine eligibility in relation to applications.
As the Department has no role in the day-to-day administration of the scheme or the processing of permits, I can neither intervene in nor comment upon any individual case.
