Parking permit

nordydan

Hi, quick question. Sorry if its been asked already but searching is disabled!

Is it possible to get a parking permit for Dublin City, for a few months, with a northern reg? I know they're strict on this, but nothing specific is stated on the DCC website, so I was wondering whether anyone had seen this happen. Cheers

also do they recognise UK blue badges?

Don't know but I'd say your best bet is to go to DCC on Wood Quay and they'll sort you out, usually the place does be empty.

I strongly suspect no. You have to have the vehicle registered to the address and DVSNI won't register an address in Dublin.

You need an EU Blue Badge, not a country specific one (if one is issued).

I was thinking that but I've seen a few Northern reg cars parked in residential streets early in the morn on my way to work so suspect there's a way to get it in some circumstances

Depending on how early you're talking it could still be free parking on the streets you're seeing the Northern Reg cars on. A lot of streets with parking around Dublin 1, for example, are free to park on between 19.00 & 07.00. Alternatively they could have visitors passes

What does the visitors permit entail? How often can the visitor stay, how much does it cost?

Thanks again for the info

Read the link I gave you. Visitor permits are only available to residents.

Information on visitors passes here. Might be a bit catch 22 as they are only available if you are eligible to buy a residents parking permit. However you might get your host/neighbour to do the transaction for you.

They are not meant to be used for long periods. If the parking where the OP is speaking of is very tight, you can be sure someone will ring it in.
