Fianna Fail Councillor Blackie Gavin called for free car parking to be proposed for Castlebar town in the run up to Christmas.

“I see Ballina are already out of the traps it’s important Castlebar gets out there,” the councillor said.

Ballina has currently confirmed free parking for the Christmas period and a similar initiative was introduced in the county town last year.

Last year they included the facilities at Castle Street, Market Square and Pavillion Road for free parking.
