Call for management at Eamonn Deacy Park to play role in tackling illegal parking

Galway Bay fm newsroom - A city councillor is calling on management at Eamonn Deacy Park to take greater ownership in tackling the issue of illegal parking.

The matter was raised at the City Joint Policing Committee by Councillor Frank Fahy, who said during matches, up to 120 cars are parked illegally along footpaths at Dyke Road.

He claimed the stance of management is that anything that happens outside the grounds is not their responsibility.

Garda Chief Superintendent Tom Curley pledged that Gardaí would in future keep a closer eye on the situation and ticket cars parked illegally if needed.

However, Councillor Fahy feels what's actually needed is a proper plan between all stakeholders.
