Parking charges irk mayors

Four mayors yesterday protested at what they described as “exhorbitant” parking charges at Kerry General Hospital, Tralee.

Seán O’Grady, Killarney mayor (Lab), Kerry mayor Terry O’Brien (Lab), Johnny Wall, Tralee mayor (FF) and Listowel mayor Tom Barry (SF) presented a letter of complaint to PJ Harnett, hospital general manager.

Mr O’Grady said there was growing dissatisfaction with the cost of parking at the biggest hospital in the county.
