staff temporary disability permit
Temporary Disability Permit Procedure for Staff
Temporary Disabled Parking Permits (TDPP) may be available upon application to staff members who do not qualify for a Disabled Person's Parking Card but have a short term physical disability that has been confirmed by the University Occupational Health Physician (OHP) through the Human Resources office.
Staff who wish to apply for this permit must provide basic (non medical) details to the Parking and Information Office who will refer the case to the HR Office. HR will then contact the applicant to arrange a medical consultation with the OHP and successful applicants will be issued with a permit as soon as is reasonably possible thereafter. The OHP will also indicate a suitable duration for the permit.
Please note that all details will be treated in absolute confidence and applicants need only reveal medical details to the OHP and to no other parties. Only the OHP can advise the HR office that it is appropriate to issue a permit.
This permit can only be used by the applicant in officially designated universally accessible bays around the campus. The Buildings Office has the right to withdraw the permit at any given time.
A process is in place to handle any appeals to the above system or fines applied for individual clamping incidents. Forms are available at
www.nuigalway.ie/parking and should be addressed to
Parking Management Appeals Group, c/o Buildings Office, NUI Galway"
within two months from the date of clamping. Appeals can only be considered when submitted on this form.
