Some time ago the county council put barriers on the carpark in Tullow (opposite the council offices/library) with an exit charge of 2 euros.

I'm sure the council would love to recover the cost of installing these barriers but nobody uses the carpark because of the charge.

They appear to have come up with a novel way of fundraising.

Earlier this week I noticed a group of travellers had taken up residence in the carpark. A total of maybe 6 or 8 vehicles so if ever they decide to move on the council could look forward to raising about 12-16 euros.
This is not a huge amount of revenue but it's better than nothing.

However there is some good news, as I passed by this morning I noticed that the number of vehicles had substantialy increased to maybe 20/25 so the council can now raise around 50 euros..... not bad eh !
