A few years on and now these neighbours are having difficulty with cars parking outside their house. People park there in the morning and walk to work in Blackrock. It is just outside the Pay and Display zone.
Can anything be done?
Why does your neighbour's actions it bother you? Does it detrimentally affect you in any way?
They got together and contacted Dun Laoghaire Rathdown and had double yellow lines put down.

What about the double yellow lines?
What about the Residents?
I haven't a clue what you mean by this?
Unfortunately this causes a knock on effect. Cars will now move further along the road and park outside someone else's house. Eventually this will lead to a row or the whole road covered in plastic cones.Two of your neighbours are obviously benefitting from the arrangement (Perhaps they seem it necessary for safety as already mentioned)
I think that post 6 above summed it up quite well. Other houses on the road are not reserving the spaces outside their houses, just the selfish few.
I really don't see much harm in a residents holding a space outside their house. Its done all the time, especially in modern developments where no garden walls are erected and the cobble locked garden flows onto the road giving access to 2 parking spots in the garden + access area.
Perhaps they are concerned with visibility, safety, school children on path as they are reversing out.
I think the above is a completely different scenario to what the Op is talking about.
We could all use that excuse. It seems you have no problem with our public roads covered in plastic cones? I for one think they are an eyesore and should not be allowed.
Its not much different..........one can hold the space outside by demolishing the garden wall and creating parking spaces for parking in the garden.
Done all over the country....maybe we should have a new PC Force to correct this
A bit of a Sweeping Generalisation there! -> My opinion of Traffic Cones and their use on Public Roads was never set out by me.
I actually think that that might be illegal.
In the context of the Op's post did you not say the following.. "I really don't see much harm in a residents holding a space outside their house"
I think the Op is talking about people with parking spaces in their driveway, a garden wall....and then placing cones on the road to reserve extra spaces for themselves on the public roadway.
Illegal!
Under Current legalisation or Common Law, both of which apply in Irish Courts?
I think the needs of the local residents far outweigh needs of the non residents. The community is more important and we all have to adjust and make allowances rather than monitor or police our neighbours.
Let the Courts decide if someone has a problem through Criminal or Civil law.
