133 Mr. Sherlock asked the Minister for Transport when he expects to complete the review of the disabled person’s parking permit; and the legislative or other regulatory changes which he is proposing as part of this review. [12652/07]

The Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) Regulations, 1997 empower local authorities, the Irish Wheelchair Association and the Disabled Drivers Association, to grant a disabled person's parking permit to a person who is suffering from a disability that is of a nature that prevents him or her from walking or causes undue hardship to the person in walking.

A review of all aspects of the disabled person's parking permit is still ongoing in my Department.
