No prizes for guessing what I do for a living, Towger. This is a VERY serious allegation and generalisation about Gardai. They are subject to the Data Protection Act. If a Garda does "look it up" this is recorded and he/she would face the consequences. Lets not start going into this, as it belongs in another arena. I probably shouldn't even post this, but I think your comment is unfair.The problem is if you give your name when calling the Guards, it will be recorded on the Pulse system. Which it not exactly secure, given that any Garda who happends to be a mate of the person complained against can look it up.
I think your comment is unfair.
And some people wonder why the Gardai can't/won't follow up on complaints when, in fact, the person filing the complaint has given false information!The big joke was that the name recorded for making the complaint was their own!
I don't question that this happened, towger. I just felt your comment was a bit broad. Still, he was parked on the path.My comment is based on exactly what happened on my road then one car got a ticket for parking with two wheels on the footpath, when every other car on the road does the same and got none. The owners of the car, which was parked outside their own house, had no problems in getting the information. The big joke was that the name recorded for making the complaint was their own!
I'd contact the local gardai and explain your predicament. You should see action. The Council themselves should act too. They regard this as litter. A strongly worded letter to the Residents Association might embarrass him into action? Good luck.I recently had experience in this area, the house directly opposite me has one parking space with one tenant, but he has two cars parked in one spot one behind the other, and when i reverse back i am always pertrified of hitting his car.
one car , he bought to do up, its a lump of metal and has been sitting there months with no tax or insurance.
when i reverse , my parking spot is on a bit of a slant so i must reverse up a bit of a hill ,if you get me, making it difficult to see.
a neighbour told me a few months that the gardai served a summons on the tenant to move the car, but its still there.
i sometimes have to get out in the middle of the night to access hopsitals , doctors, etc, in a major hurry and trying to get my car out is a nightmare.
it is not an option to reverse my car into my spot as the way his cars are situated this is impossible.
i have a huge disabled ticket on my car ,which im sure he has seen but doesnt seem to care.
he is on the residents committee also.
i am not.
i havent tried speaking to him as i find him rude and obnoxious and i thought by receiving a summons the problem would be solved.
i wasnt the one who complained resulting in him getting a summons.
i was wondering if there was a reason that the gardai would allow the car to be left there and not have it removed or is this the councils job?
or would the tenant have been able to ask the car stay put for a while.
this is a council estate.
sorry dont mean to hijack your post. but i know how you feel.
Its illegal to park a commerical vehicle in a residential area, so anyone doing it regularly should be fined
If it is a private estate the council have no right to remove however if they have taken over the estate they will remove it.
Are you sure? Is a public place restricted by the fact that a developer is still responsible for the roads? This might suggest that the gardai can't take action either.
