SINN FÉIN HAS called for the abolition of hospital car parking charges as new figures reveal revenues of €17.8 million last year. This is an increase of just over 140% when compared to hospital car parking income generated in 2021. It shows that hospital car parking income increased from €7.39 million in 2021 to €17.76 million in 2025, just over a 140% increase. “Hospital car parking charges are a charge on being sick and visiting families and friends in hospital,” said Cullinane. The HSE said that “if car parking charges were removed, the associated income would be lost” and that there could be “additional financial implications”.
