Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2023-02-01
============================================================

John Cummins (FG), Labour Panel

On amendment No. 64 on parking for people with disabilities, I accept the Senator's concerns are valid but I think the matter is captured in what we are saying in relation to the wider availability of parking. In my experience, where schemes have been put in place in Waterford, while it may have necessitated the moving of disabled parking spaces, they have always been replaced as closely as possible to where they were originally. That can probably be achieved by regulation or by issue of a circular in that regard, if necessary. In my experience, local authorities have always been to the fore in providing parking for people with disabilities and that is how it should be.
