Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Transport

Local authority traffic wardens are empowered by law to enforce a range of parking offences, including that of parking in a cycle lane. The recruitment, deployment, and resourcing of wardens are matters for each individual local authority and my Department has no role in this regard.
