Two Kildare motorists parked illegally in disabled bays

Naas Community Gardaí spotted both offenders

Naas Community Gardaí, Kildare were on patrol in the town on Sunday, December 21 when Student Garda Monteiro observed two vehicles parked in a disabled parking bay.

One vehicle was unattended, and the driver of the second stated he was “just waiting for a friend”.

Both the driver and the owner of the unattended vehicle were issued €150 fixed charge notices by Garda Smyth.

A Garda spokesperson said: “We take a zero-tolerance approach to the misuse of disabled parking bays. These spaces are not for drop-offs, pick-ups, or waiting. They are limited in number and are vital for those who genuinely need them.

“Let’s all play our part and keep this festive season accessible for everyone.”
