City council car park to be privatised

ONE of Cork city’s biggest publicly owned multi-storey car parks is to be privatised.

City manager Tim Lucey told city councillors on Monday night that the management of the city council-owned and managed Kyrl’s Quay car park will be outsourced on a pilot basis for a nine-month trial period.

He said city management have no other option because of the Government’s embargo on the recruitment of staff.
