KERRY General Hospital collected €697,000 in car park charges in 2014.
The figure was revealed at the HSE South Regional Health Forum meeting. It was also revealed that in the first three months of this year the KGH car park has netted €186,000.
Much of the revenue that comes from the charges goes back into paying staff that service the car parks.
Last year, the Centre of Excellence at Cork University Hospital, brought in €2.9 million from its car park.
The parking charges are ridiculous.. especially if you are visiting every day of the week for a few weeks. I had to start parking outside of the hospital and walk as it was just too expensive. Its not fair on those visiting patients who are in hospital for long periods of time
