Cork's main shopping street has emerged as the top blackspot in the country for catching motorists breaking parking rules with almost 2,900 drivers using the thoroughfare issued with fines last year.
New figures made available by Cork City Council show a total of 2,884 parking tickets were handed out to vehicle owners for parking offences on St Patrick’s Street during 2021.
The city’s main street – known locally as “Pana” – replaces the nearby South Mall as both the country’s and Cork’s riskiest location to engage in illegal parking.
