296 Deputy Tony Gregory asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will request a report from the Garda authorities on the action they are taking against a company (details supplied) in Dublin 3 in view of the fact that there is a constant and daily offending in relation to illegal parking on footpaths and so on; and the number of prosecutions they have instituted to date in 2008 against this company for parking offences. [43821/08]

I am informed by the Garda authorities that, while local Garda management had not been aware of difficulties of the kind outlined by the Deputy being experienced in the vicinity and no prosecutions have been commenced to date in 2008 for parking related offences by this business, the issue of parking has been discussed with the management of the business referred to. Local Garda management will continue to monitor this situation and ensure that any breaches of the Road Traffic Acts are dealt with appropriately.
