That this Council erect signposting at disabled parking
spaces stating the cost of the fine for parking illegally.
Killarney Town Council is to erect signs at
disabled parking bays stating the cost of the fine for parking illegally.
Killarney Town Councillor Tom Doherty raised the motion at this month's meeting
of the local authority saying that some, show no respect for those with
disabilities.
Cllr Tom Doherty has in the past, also called for an increase in the fines but this measure is outside the remit of the town council. Cllr Doherty says unfortunately the signs are an extra cost burden on the council but he feels it is a worthwhile one as Killarney is a tourist town and it's important that it is fully accessible to all.
Cllr Doherty pointed out that 10% of people have a disability and they spend money in Killarney like everyone else.
