The courthouse footpath before and after its €6000 repair job. The Irish Court Service has defended its parking arrangements in the area after it emerged just four tickets were issued in 2 years on Cross Street. 

The Irish Courts Service (ICS) has defended its parking arrangement next to Cork’s historic circuit courthouse steps as figures show just four parking tickets were issued in two years on the street nearby, where damage caused by persistent illegal parking on the pavement cost €6,000 to repairs.

Two tickets were issued on Cross St in 2018 and two in 2019, all for parking a vehicle wholly or partly on a footway, according to figures released by City Hall.
