Kilkenny gardai have warned people who park illegally when visiting amenities within 5km of their homes could have their car impounded.
It follows a number of incidents in which illegal parking hindered access for emergency services vehicles.
Gardai said this could “put lives at risk”, adding: “As we saw last weekend, people who illegally park are at risk of having their cars towed and impounded.”
