Illegal parking detection up 44% with new warden hires in Cork

South Mall in Cork City is one of the country’s top blackspots for illegal parking, with more than 3,000 motorists fined for parking offences on the street last year.

Figures obtained from Cork City Council show over three times as many cars are detected for parking offences on one of Cork’s busiest streets compared to Dublin’s Mespil Rd, the busiest location for clampers in the capital.
