Theres good parking at the Kingfisher Gym in NUIG, 5 minutes from the Cathedral. That, or try the tennis courts across from the old building or even the Hospital.

Not 100% sure on this but I think they clamp on saturdays.

So either park in the college Pay and Display areas €2 for 2 hours. Blue

Along side the cathedral there's parking where the road has no yellow lines. This is as free as a bird. Red

Behind the cathedral there is a big open car park. Its €5 a day. green

Also, there are lots of estates near the college, many of which dont have permit parking. Gort/cuirt/dun na coiribe (circled in red) are mainly students, you could probably dump the car there, but do park nicely.

Coiribe village also, i dont think they clamp there and its pretty much as close to the college as you can get.

€5 parking at the cathedral is probably the easiest to get to though.

The Dyke Road car park - about 10 mins walk to the college and it's about €4/€5 for the day.

Dont think they clamp on Saturdays and there is usually a load of spaces free, so you should be alright to park in the college on Saturday.

Officially they do clamp on a Saturday, but in reality they don't. Even if you do pay for parking in college on Saturday it's only €1 per hour so it's grand, lots of spaces in by the chapel that are P&D

If you get clamped while visiting on the Open Day then somone needs a kick in the nads. I'll rent you my permit...

Ring them and ask - 091-524411 Extension: 5063

They'll tell you that the parking restrictions apply, but they don't actually. Went through this rigamarole when my friends were getting married in the chapel last year.

It's the open day. Hope the clampers have a bit of cop-on.
