SINN Féin councillor Sharon Benson called on the Council to write to the National Transport Authority (NTA) asking them to encourage greater use of the taxi bay on Sarsfield Street in Limerick City.
She also called on Limerick City and County Council and An Garda Síochána to monitor and enforce illegal parking in the bay.
In response, Liam Browne, of the Council’s Roads, Traffic, and Cleansing Department, explained that the NTA’s role is limited to offering advice, guidelines, and funding to local authorities.
“The Council will liaise with An Garda Síochána to request that they monitor and enforce illegal parking in this taxi rank. Traffic wardens regularly monitor this taxi rank and frequently issue fixed penalty points,” he said.
