“Disabled bays exist for those who genuinely need them - not for convenience, not for ‘just a minute,’ and not for anyone who thinks the rules don’t apply to them,” they added.
Fixed charge penalty notices of €150 were issued by gardaí to those who parked in disabled parking bays without a valid permit.
