QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

To ask the Chief Executive whether South Dublin County Council holds or can request data from Approved Housing Bodies or management companies regarding parking fines, clamping or enforcement actions affecting residents in social, affordable and mixed-tenure developments and whether there is any intention to monitor parking enforcement practices in such developments in the future.

REPLY:

In general, the council manages parking on public roads through enforcement of the Control of Parking ByeLaws 2021 and the general regulation of Parking of Vehicle Restrictions and Prohibitions 46 S.I 182/1997 Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) Regulations, 1997.

The Transport Department is not responsible for parking enforcement on roads / within developments that are not Taken In Charge / not under its control and which are instead managed by an OMC or other entities. 

The Housing Department doesn't hold or request data from Approved Housing Bodies or OMCs regarding parking fines, clamping or enforcement actions affecting residents in social, affordable and mixed-tenure developments.
