City manager to investigate clampers

CORK’S city manager is to investigate claims that clampers are deliberately targeting out-of-town vehicles.

Joe Gavin said he was concerned about the allegations and would take a serious view if they were found to be true.

He now plans to examine the records held by Control Plus, the company contracted to implement the city’s parking policy. Action would be taken, he warned, if it emerged contractors were targeting certain vehicles.
