asked the Minister for the Environment the amendments he is making to the traffic and parking by-laws in order to implement the decision of the traffic sub-committee of Dublin Corporation regarding residential parking which was adopted in January 1981.

The making or amendment of parking by-laws is a matter in the first instance for the Garda Commissioner, after consutation with the local authorities concerned. No proposals for amendment of the current Dublin by-laws are awaiting my consent.
