On Twitter, they confirmed that the car was being towed away as it was being used for the purpose of advertising for a nearby business.
They called the seizure 'Operation Sign-Off' and told their followers: "Dublin - Found parked on central median for purposes of advertising.
"This vehicle was impounded under Section 71 Roads Act 1993, Court proceedings to follow."
One Dublin councillor asked if there "is a section to RTA that permits Gardai to do the same for a car parked in a cycle lane?"
Another added that the car "had previously been parked at the entrance of the estate opposite of the fuel station for months... glad it’s gone."
