Clare Councillor Calls For A New Text Alert Scheme

Clarecastle Fianna Fáil councillor, Tom O’Callaghan is calling for new measures to tackle the misuse of disabled parking spaces. He recently brought a motion before Clare County Council proposing a text alert system that would allow members of the public to report vehicles illegally parked in disabled bays directly to traffic wardens for enforcement. The council says it supports the idea in principle and will now carry out a feasibility assessment, including looking at how similar schemes operate in other areas. Councillor O’Callaghan spoke with Alan Morrissey on Monday's Morning Focus. Photo (c) Yarova from Yarova via Canva
