It's one of 18 county and town councils coming under intense pressure to dump costly parking fees.

The Irish Independent reports that Ballinasloe Town Council paid over 72 thousand euro last year to operate paid parking.

It's one of the biggest spenders on parking services with almost 325 thousand euro recorded last year.

However only 252 thousand was collected.
