The city councillor called for clarity on the rules around parking on the street, stating that it needs to 'be properly signposted'.

"What are rules around parking there? It should me made clear where parking is or isn’t allowed," he said.

His query was fielded by Kilkenny County Council Senior Engineer, Tony Lauhoff.

Lauhoff stated that the paving on the street is granite and granite isn't usually marked.

It was also noted during the meeting that vehicles parked there would potentially impede emergency vehicle access.
