Iarnród Éireann to drop parking charges at four commuter stations

Iarnród Éireann has confirmed it will be dropping controversial parking charges at four railway stations on the Cork-Midleton line for the next three months.

The company said it took the decision to axe the charges to encourage more drivers to switch to the train and said the €2 per day charges would be suspended from today until the end of August.

However, a Fine Gael TD who has campaigned to get the charges abolished has urged Iarnród Éireann to axe them completely at the end of August.
