There have been a number of reports in recent days of healthcare workers at hospitals having their cars clamped while they were working overtime.
A lack of valid paid parking accounted for one third of all offences.

The council is seeking a “close” relationship with a new clamping contractor in a deal worth €45 million.
There were 14 reports of aggressive behaviour towards clamping staff in the first eight months of this year.
Over a seven-month period there were 20 incidents in Navan, including a number of threats and physical assaults.
Five cars were wrongly clamped over the weekend.
Strict new Covid-19 measures have been announced for the two counties – here’s what you need to know.
The cars had valid parking tickets but were not parked in marked spaces at Newbridge train station.

ANY SIGNIFICANT LEVEL of flu in the community could lead to the Covid-19 test and trace system being overwhelmed as people present with similar symptoms, health experts say.
Chief Clinical Officer Dr Colm Henry told TheJournal.ie that because flu and Covid-19 both seriously impact on vulnerable and older groups, health officials want to “avoid a twin attack on the same populations” in Ireland.
He said the focus will also be on keeping down the level of flu among those who will not be seriously ill with it, but who may pass it on to those vulnerable groups.
This is why the flu vaccine without charge has been extended to a number of other groups this year, including to children aged two to 12. Previously this applied only to those over the age of 70.
So, today we want to know: Do you plan to get the flu vaccine this upcoming winter?
