Major changes to parking in the city are on the way, including increases to charges in several areas.
Parking charges will be amended in the core of the city centre (Bateman Quay, The Parade, Patrick Street Lower, John Street, Friary Street and James Street) to €2 per hour, charged in 15-minute segments (50 cents per 15 minutes) for a maximum stay of one hour.
Parking charges of €1 per hour (charged in 30 minute segments for a maximum of two hours) will be charged on Castle Road, Irishtown, Dean Street and John’s Green.
A number of areas of the city which are designated as medium stay will be charged at €1 per hour, with no maximum duration and Park Magic spaces will increase from €1 to €2 per day.
In the city charges will increase to €2 per hour at the barriered carparks at Market Yard, Friary Street and St Mary’s carpark with the first 15 minutes free. At the barriered car park at the Fair Green the charge is now €5 per day, with the first 30 minutes free.
Meanwhile at the short stay non-barriered carpark at Horsebarrack Lane motorists will be charged €1 per hour with a maximum stay of two hours while the daily charge at the medium stay carparks at Dean Street, Wolfe Tone Street, Abbey Square and Carnegie Library will increase to €5 while at St Canice’s and Fair Green the daily charge is now €3 per day.
The meeting also heard that free High Street parking has led to issues with loading and congestion. Under the agreed new proposals parking on High Street will be prohibited but set-down will be allowed.
Currently parking permits are being issued free of charge to medical and public health workers and medical practices have desnignated bays free of charge for sole use upon request. Under the new proposals an annual charge will now apply of €1,250 for a five day a week annual permit and €1,500 for a seven day a week annual permit.
The changes are expected to be in operation around the city from July 1.
