Mon 01 Jan 2007Court set time for 1,000 parking summonses but only eight issuedThe Courts Service has said it made enough time available in 2006 to deal with 1,000 summonses for parking fines issued by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, but the council brought only eight summonses forward.The statement comes after county manager Owen Keegan said the council needed to introduce car clamping because there was a shortage of time available in the local district court.
