Pay and Display Machines Currently Out of Order

As previously advertised, card payment will not be available at Pay and Display machines from 7 January 2025.

Please note due to circumstances beyond our control, it is not possible to pay for parking by cash at Pay and Display machines at present. The machines are out of order until further notice. 

Galway City Council undertook a tender process in early 2024 for the supply of payment and maintenance services, in line with public procurement. 

On completion of the tender process, a judicial review was lodged at the High Court by an unsuccessful bidder (2024/9555JR). Galway City Council awaits the outcome of this court process and as the matter is now sub judice the Council can make no further comment at this time. 

Galway City Council apologies for any inconvenience experienced by customers.

Customers are advised to use a Payzone retail outlet (cash or card), the app, online payment, or phone payment to pay for parking on-street or in Galway City Council car parks until this issue is resolved. 

The following payment options are in place:
