They show the number of parking fines issued to motorists nationwide surged last year as local authorities hired more traffic wardens to crackdown on illegal parking.

Nationally over 351,000 tickets were issued in 2023 compared with just over 304,000 from 2022.

More than 17,670 of these were in Kerry, which is a rise of up 2,352 from the year previous.

Kerry County Council was among the top five councils in the country for issuing the most parking tickets per 100,000 residents.

With fines varying from €40 to €150, Ireland's 31 local authorities would have collected at least €14 million in revenue.
