Motorists caught breaking on-street parking regulations in Armagh city collectively amassed more than 2,500 tickets last year.
And to put that another way, it equates to more than seven a day.
In all, a total of 2,592 parking tickets were issued in Armagh last year – and that’s just for ‘on-street’ parking offences.
Responsibility for car parks comes separately as they now fall under the control of the new ‘super-councils’.
Parking tickets carry a penalty of £90, but this sum is halved to £45 if the offender pays up within 14 days.

In Banbridge, the figure for 2015 was 726, while in Lurgan it was 1,050 and in Portadown 2,027.
