We should take a fresh look at pay parking

Plans are afoot to introduce parking charges in several towns throughout County Cork.

Why not make things simple and have only one disc to cover parking in any town in Cork?

Better still, extend that idea to have a common parking disc for all cities and towns in Ireland. Motorists would then not have to endure the holidaymaker’s nightmare. They would no longer need a bagful of parking discs for every town in the country. One disc would cover all.
