Fine Gael Senator Maria Byrne proposes eliminating cancer patient hospital parking fees nationwide in Ireland.
Fine Gael Senator Maria Byrne is advocating for the immediate elimination of hospital car parking fees for cancer patients in Ireland. She argues that these patients already face significant challenges and should not have to worry about additional financial burdens, such as parking fees. Byrne also highlights the inconsistency in parking fees at different hospitals and the difficulty in accessing information about concessions. She believes that eliminating these fees would be a small yet impactful gesture of support for cancer patients, who are already struggling. Currently, only three public hospitals in Munster offer free parking for cancer patients, and Byrne wants this practice to be replicated nationwide.
