GARDAÍ in Dundalk have taken swift action to ensure accessibility for all, as they towed away a van parked in a disabled bay without a proper permit during a patrol.

It is said that legal proceedings are set to follow, and the van driver is expected in court where the violation is expected to be addressed.
