Dublin City Council's being urged not to re-enforce clamping in the city until the Covid-19 pandemic passes.
Earlier this week the local authority announced clampers would be returning to full levels of parking enforcement, after being "scaled back" since the outbreak began.
Chairman of the city's transport committee, Councillor Christy Burke said he has now written to the head of the council calling for that to be reversed.
He said it's penalising frontline or essential workers who might need on-street parking at this time.
Councillor Burke said, "there's nobody going into town to park the car to mosey around, so anyone that's in town and might have to park it's for very good reason."
He added, "I've contacted senior management this morning and asked them to resist implementing the clamping programme in the city , because this is not the time, under these difficult circumstances."
