New and improved parking machines to be installed for Newbridge and Kildare

By Kim O'Leary

Kildare County Council has announced that six new parking machines are set to be installed in Newbridge and Kildare Town in the coming weeks.

The machines are being introduced as a continuation of a pilot programme for contactless transaction machines, which makes it more convenient for purchasing tickets.

Kildare County Council has said that the new machines will have coin return slots unlike previously installed machines that did not refund money when transactions were cancelled.

The Council was responding to a query on the issue by Independent Councillor Morgan McCabe during the week.
