Free parking in Cavan town for Christmas period

Details were announced today.

Free parking has been introduced in Cavan town in the run up to Christmas.

Cavan County Council has outlined when and where parking charges will not apply. It says the move, which has been in place for the past number of years, is in a bid to encourage people to shop local.

The multi-storey car park in the town centre will be free until Christmas Eve.

It will be closed from 6pm on Christmas Eve to Wednesday December 29.

All other car parks in the town will be free from Saturday December 11 to New Year's Day.

However, charges will apply for on-street parking. Only the period from Christmas Eve to December 28 will see free on-street parking.

The County Council says the two-hour limit will continue to be enforced throughout the period to ensure good traffic flow and access to parking.
