Kildare motorist illegally parked in designated disabled parking bay
A member of the public who held a valid disabled parking permit reported the vehicle
While out on patrol recently, Athy Roads Policing Unit in Kildare observed a motorist parked in a designated disabled parking bay without displaying a valid permit.
A member of the public also contacted gardaí to report the vehicle, as they were unable to use the space despite holding a valid disabled parking permit.
A garda spokesperson said of the offence: “Disabled parking bays are not a convenience — they are an essential facility for people who need them. Every time one is occupied unlawfully, it can have a real impact on someone's ability to access services, shops, workplaces, or medical appointments.
“There is no excuse for parking in a disabled bay without entitlement. Please show consideration and respect for those who rely on these spaces every day.”
A Fixed Charge Penalty Notice of €150 was issued.
