Why is it that people who lives in estates feel that they have some right to the public highway right outside their door.
You lot is your plot simple as that.
Dublin Corporation have a new incentive now to get people to use their driveways if they have one instead of fencing off their frontage with a car.
I recently parked outside a house on an estate and was told to move it and that the space belonged to "me husband". Some cheek ,i pointed out that i pay road tax and therefore i am a paid up member of the Public Highway , 30 mins later her husband knocked on my girlfriends door asking me to move the car so he could park there. I declined , he called the police and ended up with a warning for wasting police time.
But all in all i have experienced problems in the past and the Gardai do not want to know , the matter is strictly for your local councils traffic control dept.
They will enforce the necessary bye laws which govern you issue , the offender should certainly not be blocking the path , i would get on to the company and let them know and their insurers that they will need to resolve the matter , you can do this anon i am sure.
