MEETING OF JOINT POLICING COMMITTEE

Friday, September 11, 2009

QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

That this committee recommends that the Gardai reintroduce the placement of parking tickets on motor vehicles which are the subject of a computer-recorded fine for a parking offence. The placement of physical ticket on the offending motor vehicle would provide a visual warning and deterrent to other car-users who may park illegally in the same area.

REPLY:

There is no legal requirement to place a warning on a vehicle that is committing a parking offence. To introduce this initiative may give the person receiving a fine a legal expectation that this notice should be placed on the vehicle.
