Reintroduction of car ban in Cork City's main street set for August 9

Half-price parking deals, an extended park and ride bus service and new city centre set-down areas are some parts of a new package of measures planned as part of the reintroduction of the controversial afternoon car ban on Cork city's main street.

The new measures will come into effect from August 9 when City Hall makes its second attempt to introduce bus priority corridors on St Patrick's Street.
