Parking Provision
Seanad Éireann — 2026-05-20
============================================================

Teresa Costello (FF), Agricultural Panel

I thank the Minister. I think there is an awful lot of messing going on with parking. I refer back to the car parking spaces that have been in situ for 50 years in Tallaght village. They want to remove them. Recently up in Marlfield a management company tried to impose parking charges for people who had car parking spaces outside their houses. This is absolutely unacceptable and ridiculous carry on. If there is a call five minutes down the road for additional car parking, there should not be a removal of car parking in that vicinity. I acknowledge the wording of support and encouragement but the word I am feeling is "forced". I have to call it the way I see it. I appreciate the Minister's response and I acknowledge the high standard of housing that is being delivered. The apartments are fabulous but it is a pity that this car parking issue, which was flagged, has happened. I really hope to see a resolution and will fight tooth and nail for it.
