Long term parking was originally a large lot sitting on what is today, the present-day long term parking garage. The garage was built in several phases from 1990 to 1997 after increased passenger traffic swamped the parking lot beyond capacity.
Westport is in County Mayo in the Republic of Ireland. It is a heritage town and is on the west coast directly under the shadow of the holy mountain of Croagh Patrick.
Westport's population grew rapidly from the 1950s to 1970s. This expansion was driven by the town's proximity to New York City, its school system's reputation, chic New York-type fashion shopping and the natural beauty of the town.
