Parking on Kilcock road

vektarman

Just giving a heads up to people, notices were put on the windscreens of cars parked on the Kilcock Road to-day by NUIM security warning drivers not to park on the Kilcock Road outside the college, the notices stated that the parked cars were a hazard to road users and that the gardai would be prosecuting offenders.

I drive by MUI and some cars do take the p^ss with the parking.
They must not be able to parallel park, as they are a good half a car out on the road and it always is opposite to the entrance.

People park there because there isn't enough parking for students and staff on campus.

People also park there early in the morning when there is still plenty of parking spaces on the campus, there's a queue sometimes getting out on to the Kilcock Road in the evening and people park outside to save 5 minutes in the evening despite lots of spaces available on campus.

Perhaps, but that still doesn't change the fact that the parking situation is getting critical.

Yeh it's impossible to get parking in the college unless you are there by 9:30 at the latest, after that it's park in the bike lanes, on the grass if u can even find a spot there, very annoying! I don't want to park in places like that, please provide some more parking!!!:mad:

It's a fecking disgrace.
Kilcock road was considerably less packed today which was good (health and safety wise) until you enter the campus. Alllllllll along the shoulder of the main road around campus had car parked half on the road/half on the path. Ridiculous.

It gets worse every year and the best they have done is put a gravel pit beside the astroturf. Yet they're building all these new buildings.

Maybe you should take the train instead? Are you assuming everyone has a train from where they live to Maynooth? Oh and haven't you heard one of the busiest train bridges in the country collapsed into the Malahide Estuary and still isn't fixed? So we aren't all lucky enough to have the option of public transport and spend a fortune running a car just to be able to attend college!

Teabag!

the train never came from malahide to maynooth, it came from conolly/ pearse so the bridge in malahide makes no difference....

To be fair to Sile I'd say she's talking about the general state of the train infrastructure in this country and not specifically about getting to Maynooth from beyond Malahide although NUIM students travelling from beyond Malahide are affected by the bridge collapse as they have to travel to Maynooth via Connolly.

Yes exactly! Some people have to come from the Drogheda to Connolly line and swap in Connolly station onto the Maynooth train!
