Gardai have confirmed that on-the-spot fines were issued to the registered owners of several cars which were parked illegally in Adare over the weekend.
In a post on Twitter, gardai appealed to people to “please park responsibly & consider others” when parking.
The tweet includes photographs of four cars which were all parked on double-yellow lines in Adare on Sunday.
Three of the four cars – including a high-powered Mercedes and an Audi – appear to be parked on the footpath near the church in the village.
