Dublin City Council has said it has instructed Dublin Street Parking Services to act at its discretion to secure cars parked in areas near hospitals, the Department of Health and HSE offices.
This comes after the criticism of the stopping of vehicles outside the facility where health workers handled the Covid-19 crisis.
The city council said it is attempting to “put in place a more formal identification procedure for vehicles belonging to medical professionals and staff associated with medical facilities” so as to ensure that parking spaces around health facilities are prioritised for medical staff.
According to RTE, Dublin City Council said “normal clamping and enforcement activities are still ongoing and will remain in place to ensure that motorists continue to park legally and that vehicles obstructing entrances, disabled bays etc. can be removed”.
The council has now asked other drivers not to park in the vicinity of medical facilities in order to leave these spaces free for medical professionals who are working shifts.
