Penalty points for flouting car ban on Cork's St Patrick’s St

Motorists flouting the St Patrick’s St car ban in Cork City will eventually face penalty points.

Ahead of a crucial week for the operation of the street’s daily 3pm to 6.30pm bus corridor, the chief executive of Cork City Council, Ann Doherty, said an agreed policy of “education and advice” about the new traffic arrangements will continue for a few more weeks before enforcement action starts.
