SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
Monday, October 14, 2024
QUESTION NO.46
QUESTION: Councillor J. Sinnott
To ask the Chief Executive what formal commercial arrangements/licences are in place with car sharing companies and their access to parking in car parks across South County Dublin.
REPLY:
The use of Club Cars is being supported and promoted as part of a sustainable lifestyle. Use of Club Cars enables the occasional use of a vehicle resulting in the reduction of the number of vehicle ownership and vehicles on the road in the county. A car club is a means of sharing a car (or van) between different people, allowing individual drivers and households to experience the benefits of access to a car, while reducing and often removing the cost and need to own and maintain one.
A car club vehicle with the proper license and permit may park in a paid parking place, in a paid parking area in a public road or in a car park intended for the parking of mechanical vehicles. Club Car licence and permits are manged through the Control of Parking Byelaws, 2021 and applications were assessed to ensure that the location of the club car did not impact public parking on busy village streets.
Currently there are three Licenced parking operators. Each licence covers 25 No. permits. In total there are forty three (43) vehicles permitted to use the roads in the South Dublin County Council Administrative area as follows: -

As the number of interested operators increases, and permits are due for renewal, the Council will assess the ratio of permitted vehicles to the number of available spaces in specific areas.
