We are going to Ireland with my mother. She has a handicap parking pass for the U.S. How does handicap parking for a visitor work in Ireland.
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Reciprocal Recognition
Parking badge: EU model. Road traffic and parking regulations of 1997 provides for recognition of parking badges issued by authorities in any country across the world. This provision is sufficiently broad to encompass the EU Recommendation for the reciprocal recognition of the Community Model parking card. No express reference is made to any particular measure in the 1997 regulation.
