The Parking Control Bye-Laws, 2007 define a resident “a person who is the occupant of a dwelling or a converted house, other than a purpose built apartment block, who satisfies the Council that his/her normal dwelling place is at premises situated within a pay parking area which relates to the parking permit”.

Dwelling is defined as “a building or structure designed and used for residential purposes, other than an apartment within a purpose built apartment block”.

Residents of purpose built apartment blocks are not eligible for resident’s permits.

Businesses, employees and non-resident landlords are not eligible for residents permits.

The display of a valid parking permit, as specified in the Parking Control Bye-Laws, is the responsibility of the applicant.
