The Nolan show can reveal that the same government department that has been trying to cut down car use in Belfast city centre has 230 free city centre car-parking spaces for its own civil servants

The Department for Regional Development - now part of the new Dept for Infrastructure - has defended the provision at its headquarters, after disclosing the figures to the Nolan Show through an freedom of information request

Should civil servants be getting free parking while the department is trying to encourage motorists not to drive into town?
