Woman who parked in disabled spot banned for 6 months

The tough stance by a district court judge banning motorists who illegally park in disabled parking spots was yesterday praised by a disability organisation.

At Ennis District Court yesterday, Judge Patrick Durcan hit out at the “boorish behaviour” by able-bodied drivers who illegally park in disabled parking spots in towns and villages, especially around Co Clare.

He made his comment before banning Valerie Scullion of 18 Bridge View, Roslevan, Ennis from driving for six months.
