Pressure is once again being mounted on the City Council to restore cash pay-and-display parking.
This time the matter was raised at County Hall, with Ballinasloe Councillor Declan Geraghty criticising the system.
Payment for parking in the city has been a major talking point over the past year, with payment now done on the Galway City Parking app, over the phone, or at a Payzone shop.
A report on the new system is due in August, after city councillors agreed to a six-month grace period to allow new signage and communication efforts to bed in.
