Haphazard parking a problem in Cork city

An article in the Irish Examiner (11 November) indicates a tourist claimed a tourist bus driver blamed traffic congestion for avoiding Cork City.

Yesterday at 3.30pm I drove from Ballyphehane, via Barrack Street, St Fin Barre’s Cathedral, Mercy Hospital, along the quay, past the Opera House, past Parnell Place, City Hall to Anglesea Street.

Traffic was heavy, it was overcast, with drizzling rain and visability was poor.
