The rail operator clamped just short of 4,300 vehicles in total, with motorists generally forced to pay out a €120 fee to have the clamp removed.

Kent Station in Cork was the national hotspot for clamping with 786 motorists immobilised at the busy city station in 2021.

It has retained top spot so far this year accounting for 563 clampings from a nationwide tally of 2,083 cars immobilised.

Irish Rail is on target to increase its clamping revenue this year with €192,960 collected in the period up until mid-October.
