University Hospital Galway took in over one million euro in car parking fees in 2023.
While Portiuncula University Hospital in Ballinasloe took in almost €83,000 in fees, according to a new report by Irish Country Living.
Nationally, irish hospitals took in 15.7 million euro, which is being criticised for adding to the financial burden of patients and their families.
Campaigners against the fees say they are still waiting for Simon Harris to live up to his 2020 promise of capping the prices to 10 euro a day.
Ciara Leahy is the Editor of Irish Country Living and says the prices can vary wildly across the country.
