    Hey guys,

    Was parking my car in a pay and display area yesterday when i noticed written on the paystation a minimum payment of €1. I was literally just nipping into the post office to pay a credit card bill, 20c would have sufficed... but instead i had to put in 5 times that amount. I'm a little baffled as to the reasoning behind this... can anyone shed any light?? other than i was being ripped of course! :confused::mad:

    it does seem ridiculous to not allow a 20c or 30c charge for a run into a shop. I know that with the parking-tag system, you can top up by as little as 20c.

    Just had a quick check of the parking bye laws and it states the min for all zones to be 20c

    In the Dun Laoghaire harbour zone it's a minimum of €2. Unlike the DLR Co. Co., the harbour police will clamp you if you're not paid up.
