Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy has told Dublin City Council they should reconsider their decision to re-introduce clamping. Mr Murphy, who is also responsible for local government, told the council their resources could be put to better use than clamping cars when the capital is under lockdown. “I’ve asked Dublin City Council to reconsider their position on this,” he said. “I’m sure there are other things that the vans and personnel could be helping with but that’s a matter for Dublin City Council,” he added. Docklands Business Forum CEO Alan Robinson said it was “mean spirited” of the Council to enforce clamping during a national crisis.
