Parking restrictions have been recently enforced in the car park adjacent to Raheen Church in Limerick following multiple complaints from Mass-goers. Limerick City and County Council has erected signage in the area indicating it is now governed by parking bye-laws which require people to pay, with failure to do so resulting in a €40 fine.
Cllr James Collins said there has been a mixed reaction to the new bye-laws. “Some people were using it as a park and ride and they were getting the bus into town and obviously that was conflicting with the people who wanted to use the church for Mass and funerals,” he said, adding that he has received a number of calls from people since the signs were erected.
