• Disabled driver spared conviction for parking on footpath in Dublin 6 Parking violation (section 35(5)(a) of the Road Traffic Act 1994) · Co. Dublin

  On 23 February 2024 at 13:58, Paul de Brit, a man who uses a walking frame, parked his car on a footpath at Milltown Road, Dublin 6, after disabled spaces nearby were occupied by drivers without permits. He was summonsed under section 35(5)(a) of the Road Traffic Act 1994 because his €120 parking ticket payment arrived too late, and Dublin City Council brought the prosecution. The case was heard at Dublin District Court, where Judge Anthony Halpin dismissed the charge under the Probation of Offenders Act with no punishment applied, and it was reported on 23 September 2025.
