MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

QUESTION NO.13

QUESTION: Councillor E. Murphy

To ask the Chief Executive if there is provision to extend the '30 minutes free parking' in the villages in the County to users of the mobile parking apps such as 'ParkingTag'?

REPLY:

The Council had requested the Parking Tag contractors Payzone to make the necessary adjustment to enable users avail of the new arrangements. Currently developmental work on the changes to this process are being undertaken and Parking Tag should be updated by the end of November to facilitate free 30 minutes grace time.  In the meantime, the Wardens have been asked to show discretion and calculate 30 minutes for any Parking Tag customer who may not have paid and wishes to avail of the free 30 minutes grace time.
