Question: Councillor D. Smith
“To ask the Chief Executive can double yellow lines or no parking lining be
placed at the top of Castleview Crescent as bin lorries and other heavy
services have been unable to access the top of the Crescent due to
parking by the green open space”
Reply:
The Operations Department would not consider the introduction of further
double yellow lines at this location, as their provision in residential areas often
prove difficult to enforce.

Garda Síochána have powers of enforcement which do not require the
installation of statutory signage or road markings. The following regulations
