Council:  No summer  parking concessions

Previous free parking initiatives on Saturdays and weekday mornings have been “at a significant cost” to the council. Last year free parking in one area of Tralee cost the council €950 a week, and this was only allowing free parking until 11am, town clerk Michael Scannell outlined.

He insisted that shoppers and visitors to Tralee who were only stopping for an hour or so were not put off by the parking charges which had not risen in five years.
