Cork city car ban set to be parked after just 3 weeks

The controversial afternoon car ban on Cork’s St Patrick’s St looks set to be suspended tonight after just three weeks.

The move follows weeks of controversy and intense pressure from traders who branded the move a disaster.

A special city council meeting has been called for this evening during which councillors are expected to recommend the temporary suspension, with immediate effect, of the street’s 3pm-6.30pm daily car ban for up to four months.
