Parking generates €1.3m for council

Paid parking in Mullingar generated just over €1.3m for Westmeath County Council in 2013, members of Mullingar Town Council were told last week.

The information was in response to a query from Cllr Peter Burke.

The bulk of the revenue, just over €1m, was generated by on-street parking while €224,850 was recouped by way of parking fines.
