We have just had a holiday in the east of Southern Ireland and Michael has a few comments that you might like to consider putting in your magazine.

Whilst there are Disabled Bays in towns and in front of some shops, they are much fewer than here in England.

While searching for a spot one day to no avail, I was about to park on double yellow lines without blocking anything, and without being liable to cause an obstruction (as we can do in England). Fortunately a disabled motorist approached quickly and told me not to do so as I would be fined and my car towed away.

No public car park that we used made it clear re-free parking for disabled, there were no signs anywhere, but on enquiry we were told we could park free.
