Galway City Council - Parking Appeal Procedure
Galway City Council operates pay-and-display, disc parking in some zones, and time-limited bays. The City Council uses its own enforcement officers. Appeals can be made directly to the Parking Office. GCC's small size means appeals receive individual attention; cancellation rates for clear procedural defects are reasonable.
Legal basis
Local Government Act 2001; Galway City Council parking by-laws.
How to identify this in your case
