The latest parking ticket to the right joins around 10 others on the car. The identity of the person who wrote the message on the screen is unknown
LIMERICK City and County Council says it has no legal authority to impound a car which appears to have been abandoned near the social welfare offices at Dominic Street.
Almost a dozen parking tickets have been issued by traffic wardens who have come across the green-coloured Honda CRV which has been parked in an on-street space for some time. At least one ticket has been issued for non-display of tax.
The insurance for the 00D-registered car expired on March 31 while the NCT and tax expired last August.
“The Traffic Department has no powers to remove, store or dispose of vehicles for non-display of vehicle registration certification or outstanding parking or traffic offences. It can only be removed for obstruction of traffic or access/egress obstruction,” said a spokesperson for the local authority.
