Calls for clamping policy to change

CORK’S business leaders called yesterday for sweeping changes to the city’s “draconian” clamping and towing policy.

The Cork Business Association (CBA) spoke out after a frail 87-year-old nun who uses a walking stick was left stranded in the city centre after her car, which was displaying a disability sticker, was towed away.

Sr Brendan’s car was removed to the car pound after she parked illegally on a footpath on Liberty Street behind Washington Street courthouse on Wednesday morning.
