I'm with Scooby on this.Really ,thats interesting that it didnt effect your subsidies, we got ours reduced on our own owned land for that exact reason, we had a small space an entrance to a field where we has come machine parked and it was disallowed, we also had a plot disallowed because bales were on it. The joys of the department, its pot luck.
Honestly, i dont know, just every year for last few years our area allowed for payment has reduced for silly things, we have questioned it with our advisor and he has said it is correct.I'm with Scooby on this.
Each payment entitlement has to be backed by 1 Ha of Utilisable Agricultural Area.
1 hectare is 10,000 square metres.
A 10x10 parking area would be 100 square metres; I get confused at times - but by my calculations that is an area loss of 1% of a Hectare.
Am I missing something? That seems pretty immaterial to me.
There are two types of trespass, criminal and civil.He absolutely has a right to prevent you trespassing on his property.
I am open to suggestions
I am not sure what this has to do with anything, i have previously said we do all of the above, if any dirt on road we clean etc. Leave as we found. This is not or has never been an issue, it is simply this man who just doesnt want us to park a car...not a tractor or anything like that, outside his boundary wall.
"Once the cattle have left the road, ensure that signs are placed to warn motorists of any mud or dung which has been deposited on the road by the cattle and take steps to ensure that the road is cleaned after use.”
OP doesn't state if the area is hardcore or suitable to withstand the weight of a car. Most rural homes I see have the area grassed, and certainly not suitable for traffic. Perhaps OP might have mentioned that if it was the case here but parking on grass is damaging.I highly doubt he would ever do this given high cost and incredibly low chance of success given that he is not suffering actual damage.

Yes it is a public road maintained by the council, and very recently the council repaired a pothole on this area.I can't see the main question here being answered, is it a public road, maintained by and in the control of the council, or is it a boreen across private land. If the latter, then it may come down to things like a public right of way etc.
In fairness to the house owner, what would happen if someone had an accident where the cars are parked? Would his insurance be liable for it.? Even though it sounds like he is a blow in with no knowledge of how rural Ireland works from a practical perspective, he may have a genuine gripe to complain.
Would a cheque for a few bob make him go away. ?
No, cars would have to slow down to pass the moving cows, but road not blocked. There would be at max 10 cows.Are you not blocking the road when the cattle are moving along it anyway? So can you not leave your car blocking the road for the few mins while you get the cattle also, given that it is going to be blocked anyway?
Presumably the person you sought advice from is a practising solicitor who reviewed the folio. What did they say about same showing the other party owns the land? The purpose for the set back for the provision of sight lines is well documented, parking cars in them will very likely reduce those sight lines so could be considered a hazzard. I've never seen evidence that the LA can just assume they are part of the public road, ore carry out any works on them without purchasing or permission of the owner.they are in fact taking presumption of ownership and can be than held liable.......
