Clonmel Community Policing on patrol last night issued a fixed charge notice of €150 to a vehicle which was parked illegally in a disabled bay in Clonmel town centre.
Upon returning to the vehicle, the motorist informed Gardaí that they were simply parking close by briefly in order to collect a pizza from a nearby pizzeria.
This fine was issued as part of Operation Enable which is a Gardaí run initiative to cut down on the amount of motorists parking illegally in spaces designated for disabled citizens.
