County Waterford Council Approves No Increase in Dungarvan Parking Charges for 2027
What happened
County Waterford council passed a proposal during its annual district budget meeting on November 9 to maintain current parking charges in the Dungarvan-Lismore district throughout 2027. The proposal was put forward by Cllr Damien Geoghegan and seconded by Cllr Tom Cronin. Additionally, councillors noted that the parking app is currently failing to provide the free 30 minutes of parking that has been available in Dungarvan since the mid-1980s.

Why it matters
The decision to avoid increasing parking charges supports local retail activity in Dungarvan, as councillors noted the free 30 minutes serves as a key incentive for people to shop in town. Officials also stressed that the failure of the app to deliver the promised free parking must be addressed.
