Double parking fine shock for Sunday shopper
One Sunday recently she parked our car in Princes Street. When she returned to it there were no messages on the windscreen, but a few weeks later she received a fine notice from the gardaí for an alleged parking offence.
Two weeks later she received a second fine notice for the same ‘offence’ — this time from the traffic department of Cork City Council for the same date a few minutes later. When we queried this double dipping, we were told the fines were from different authorities and both must be paid. A nice revenue earner.
