Cork County (Not City) — Wrong Council Cited
Cork City Council and Cork County Council are two separate local authorities since the 2019 boundary extension. Each has its own parking bye-laws and FCN system. An FCN issued in a County Council area but addressed to / processed by Cork City Council's appeals channel (parkingappeals@corkcity.ie) is misdirected, and vice versa.
Legal basis
Local Government Act 2001 (separate local authority status); Cork City Boundary Extension 2019; respective parking bye-laws of each council.
How to identify this in your case
Cork-area FCN where the issuing authority on the notice does not match the location's actual administrative authority (city vs county).
