Free car parking in Cork City to boost Christmas trade

More than 1,000 free parking spaces will be made available in Cork City in the run-up to Christmas in a bid to boost trade.

Cork City Council announced details of its free parking offer in the city’s two publicly owned car parks, starting today, and confirmed that parking will be free on Saturdays at the Black Ash park and ride facility from this Saturday.

The parking initiative will run at the council’s two public multi-storey car parks in Paul Street (735 spaces) and North Main Street (410 spaces) from today.
