"That this Council confirm the position for traders in Rathfarnham Village who still continue to encounter problems with APCOA. It was indicated at an earlier Committee meeting that traders in the village could apply for an annual permit for a fixed fee of €300. It now appears that one such trader applied for an annual permit and her annual application was refused, she was told that she could only apply for a maximum 3 monthly permit. It appears APCOA are unaware of annual application option and only allow monthly or three monthly applications.
Can you please also confirm whether or not there is a cap on the number of applicants who can apply for such a permit; there is a suggestion that only one permit per business can be applied for? Are there any restrictions on the application for such permits by traders? If so what are these restrictions?
Finally, is it possible for the Manager to insist that applications for annual permits to APCOA be made more user friendly, that APCOA accept on-line applications, while ensuring payment protection for applicant."
