Kerry hospital to review car park fees

THE HSE has promised to review parking charges at Kerry General Hospital in Tralee and have pledged to deal more “sympathetically” with relatives of long stay patients.

The HSE assurance follows an outcry at a meeting of Killarney Town Council which branded the parking charges — reportedly among the country’s highest — as immoral and obscene.

Visitors are being charged €5 if they park for more than an hour, Labour’s Cllr Sean O’Grady claimed.
