Transport Minister Eamon Ryan has been urged to review car parking at Cork’s Kent railway station amid complaints there are not enough spaces, as well as non-rail users using them.

City councillors were told the review should consider the construction of a multi-storey car park and a tightening up of the rules to ensure only motorists with a valid train ticket can park at the station’s Apcoa-managed car parks.
