Gardaí in Dundalk issue fines for cars blocking footpaths and disabled bays

One vehicle, which had been parked blocking a footpath, was towed away.

Dundalk Roads Policing Unit carried out patrols last week as part of Operation Enable and Make Way, targeting motorists who parked illegally in disabled bays or blocked footpaths.

A number of fixed penalty notices were issued during the patrol. One vehicle, which had been parked blocking a footpath, was towed away. Gardaí confirmed the driver will now face both a fine and an impound fee.
