The disabled parking permit (also known as the European parking card or disabled parking badge) is available to people living in Ireland whose mobility is severely restricted, whether they are drivers or passengers, and also to those who are registered blind.

My Department has no role in the day-to-day administration of the scheme or in processing applications and I can neither intervene in nor comment on any individual case. The Deputy may wish to advise her constituent to contact the relevant issuing body, either the Irish Wheelchair Association or the Disabled Drivers Association of Ireland, to discuss this case in detail.
