Campaigners have condemned a council in Ireland for offering free car parking “to mark European Mobility Week ”a week which is associated with ‘car-free day’ and promoting a reduction of car use.

According to the EU website for European Mobility Week, the aim of the week includes to “find innovative solutions to reduce car-use.”

European car-free day is on Friday, but Galway County Council is promising free car parking on that day.
