MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

QUESTION NO. 23

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

To ask the Chief Executive what role, if any, park rangers have in parking and wheelchair parking in our parks?

REPLY:

The South Dublin County Council Parks and Open Space Bye Laws 2011 set out (under section 3 of the bye laws headed Traffic) the conditions under which vehicles are allowed to enter and be parked in a public park in the county.  The bye laws cover the areas of vehicles that are prohibited from entering the park, the maximum speed limit for vehicles that are permitted to enter the park and the parking of vehicles in car parks and the permitted use of those car parks.  The primary duties of the park ranger relate to the implementation of the parks bye laws and this covers all aspects of the bye laws including traffic and parking.
