Plans are being drawn up to upgrade parking meters in towns across Co Cork so they'll accept cashless payments.

Cork County Council has confirmed it's currently “examining newer technologies (cashless based payment options) for pay parking,” primarily as a result of more people turning to card transactions during the Covid-19 pandemic.
