There have been calls for temporary parking permits for staff at a Clonmel school.

The extension of paid parking to Upper Irishtown means teachers at Gaelscoil Chluain Meala find themselves paying for parking outside the school as there is no on-site parking.

Cllr Pat English has asked to have the parking by-laws amended to allow temporary permits for staff at the school, however other councillors strongly opposed the request deeming it unfair on other businesses.

He explains why staff have have no parking facilities at present.

The motion has been deferred to allow time for the school to meet with the Council again to try to come up with a simpler resolution.
