Some irony there.
A total of 379 motorists were caught parked in a space reserved for disabled drivers without a valid badge

There are 500 disabled bays in Dublin, yet only 379 clamps were issued last year, which is less than one clamp per bay per year.
Absolutely disgraceful.
Use a parent & child space without kids, use a disabled space without your badge or block a footpath … massive fine & a clamp!
I live in a smaller town, but outside my work entrance is 3 disabled spots. All day long, you’ll people parking in them, eating their deli food and leaving again. A lot of them are troublesome folk.
I actually asked a traffic warden one day what the craic was. They’ll face a blue badge face down, so you can’t see the details of it. The warden said its more hassle than its worth to give them a ticket.
This is one of the things I feel pretty strongly about. I mean, the technology is here for this, it’s cheap and it makes it pretty easily enforced. Could have ANPR cameras and chip readers at the spots. So when a car parks and no badge is detected, you take a picture and issue a fine.
On a temporary basis while you wait for the badges to come with chips, you have a register of number plates and badges that you cross-check before issuing a fine.
We seem to manage to issue more fines for illegal dumping at the glass recycling than we do for illegal parking in disabled bays. So if we can do it there, we can definitely do it at the parking spots.
I was at a Lidl earlier, and a car was taking a blue badge spot despite not having a blue badge. I parked in tight behind it and went into the Lidl to do the shopping. I came out, to find they had tried to maneuver the car out but failed. I was sarcastically apologetic, whilst pointing out that they didn’t have a blue badge. They were a pair of caravanning enthusiasts.
I have a blue badge on my vehicle, and I was supporting a person in a wheelchair to do their shopping.
